<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mat, post: 1064385, member: 21445&quot;]2010 was a pretty good year for coins for me. I picked up alot of slot fillers I needed for my U.S. Type set &amp; they were in grades I wanted. Recently the type set is on the back burner because I need more of the expensive stuff like a mid-high grade barber Half and alot of gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>2010 also was the year I got into ancient coin collecting. As usual I figured it was a segment that was for the big boys to play with. Who would have thought you can own 2000+ year old coins for a $100 or much less. Also the amazing help and knowledge the CT ancient collectors share keeps me interested.</p><p><br /></p><p>So because of the rich history ancients have and some with much better designs then most U.S. coins, I have decided to put my coin collecting budget into ancients and their related things like books and such.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do feel my collection is off to a good start. I am pretty picky with what I buy. All of my ancient coins I have bought are in a <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/index.php?cat=26422" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/index.php?cat=26422" rel="nofollow">gallery</a>. It&#039;s pretty hard to choose but below are 2 I would put a favorite sticker on for 2010.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i53.tinypic.com/2s8s30l.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i53.tinypic.com/122jitu.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Im hoping in 2011 I can start getting more greeks. I only have 1 at the moment but when I find a greek I like I end up finding a better deal on a roman. I also hope I can pick up a few more slot fillers for my U.S. Type set but im not gonna go out of my.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
