At that point, people making suggestions about resources and so forth would probably be more effective. Things you should figure out beforehand.... You happier with quality or quantity? (500 coins or 20?) Prefer coins with real people on them? Or gods/mythology? Other? Do the coins that you are after need to be available often? Or are you content to wait for sparse opportunities? What kind of budget are you working with and what is your minimum criteria for condition/quality? And, of course, many others. But this should provide an idea about the factors.[/QUOTE]
