<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cucumbor, post: 2267131, member: 4298&quot;]12 caesars from april onwards. Wow, that&#039;s fast collecting my friend. it took me more than ten years to complete the series</p><p><br /></p><p>I have way too many focusses. The first and main one (so far) is &quot;roman&quot;</p><p>Doing that, you quickly understand it might be somehow a big chunck to swallow and probably a bit expensive</p><p><br /></p><p>At some point several sub sections started to grow up, on their own I would say : suddenly realizing you have, say three or four coins that would start a new thematic collection. For me, through time, it&#039;s been Plautilla denarii (completed), Divi series of Trajan Decius (2 more to go), She wolf on reverse (work in progress, 9 items so far), Diana Lucifera on reverse (work in progress, 4 items so far). </p><p><br /></p><p>Believe or not, I realized I was doing the &quot;12&quot; after buying the eleventh one : &quot;OMG ! I&#039;ve got 11 out of 12 caesars and just need to find Vitellius to have a complete series !&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>But also, living where I live, I found funny to try finding coins minted in the area around during the 15th, 16th and 17th century : easy job, a bunch of copper and billon as a side collection. 17 years after, with 200+ coins I&#039;m just in the middle of the way, with many unpublished types, years and varieties, a reference website, perhaps a book in the years to come....and spending much more money on them than I ever did for romans</p><p><br /></p><p>But also, when my best friend (british) passed away two years ago, and after his partner had found in his house some british coins in a pot that she gave me in remembrance of the good days, I thought it would be a good idea to collecting some british coins and....started a side collection of those (I swear it will remain a side collection...or not)</p><p><br /></p><p>As stated above, a focus chooses you more than you choose it</p><p><br /></p><p>Q[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
