<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 2267447, member: 74968&quot;]Thanks very much for the kind words and advice @IOM. I really do not worry about the insults. They say more about the person doing the insulting than anything else.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I have really enjoyed looking at the member galleries on Forvm. This has given me some insight as to the different paths available for collecting ancient coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>One approach I have thought about is a famous or influential persons collection on coins. I would not limit myself to ancient coins but I would not include coins from the last few hundred years or so. I would love to have coins of Cleo VII, Sulla, Pompey, Marc Antony, and Brutus from the Roman era. I would add a coin of Alexander III. Then maybe a coin of King Cnut or even Henry V. This would be an open ended collection and I would just add coins as I find them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just realized that all of these coins would be from books I read and subjects I have studied or have been interested in. A nice personal focus.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
