<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3439294, member: 19463&quot;]I am glad to see your choice of a first coin.&nbsp; Too often, we hear reports of people starting with very ugly coins they will later regret or insisting on rarities that quite honestly they are not in a position to appreciate beyond the matter of market value.&nbsp; I would be interested in hearing what it was about this coin that made it stand out in your mind and what considerations you might have that will guide your selection of #2 and #3....... perhaps #3000? I am a general collector of just about anything ancient but, looking at all my coins, it is obvious I have been attracted to some specialties more than others.&nbsp; Some of those specialties are easy to put in words (Eastern mint denarii of Septimius Severus) while others are just coins that spoke to me at the time.&nbsp; We have people here who would expect your next coin to be another Gordian and others that would suggest you might want something as far from Gordian as you can get.&nbsp; How do you see this?&nbsp; </p><p>Welcome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
