<p>[QUOTE=&quot;+VGO.DVCKS, post: 4590984, member: 110504&quot;]Thanks for that, Lord Marcovan.</p><p>...Actually, since you raised the issue, my criteria as a mostly medieval collector (c. Carolingian-early 14th c.) are pretty specific.&nbsp; The focus --fairly ruthlessly-- is on historical significance, even at the expense of esthetics.&nbsp; Yep, with medieval, you kind of have to be that way; for the most part, the content you get is textual rather than artistic.&nbsp; But it helps to emphasize my biggest attraction to the coins; their function as little historical documents.</p><p>I did collect lower-end Roman, mostly late, for years as a kid.&nbsp; And I&#039;m continually impressed by the historical acumen of the ancient collectors here, whether Roman or otherwise.&nbsp; --Hang on, including the handful of fellow medievalists.&nbsp; ...So far, I&#039;ve been too lazy to start a separate post about anything.&nbsp; For which I owe Warren Esty, in particular, a standing apology.&nbsp; I&#039;m still embarrassingly new to the format.&nbsp; Might get there eventually.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
