[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2486345, member: 56859"]It's tempting but difficult to generalize my preferences. I'll try though :D All else being equal, I prefer coins which exhibit artistry. Sometimes I prefer the mystery of a coin without any (or much) known history, letting my imagination fill in the blanks. For that reason, very early Greek coins are often the targets of my longing. In general, I'm not attracted to coins which have battle scenes or which commemorate battles. Perhaps it's a female thing, but war and particulars of battle do not interest me much. I am attracted to coins showing defunct religions and gods, finding them more interesting than coins which depict currently popular religions. Why did those religions fall out of favor? Which religions will exist in the next millennium? It's fun to think about such things. There are many exceptions to all of the above :D.[/QUOTE]
