[QUOTE="JayAg47, post: 8019667, member: 112342"]My collection focuses on the general Roman/Greek era, but also the much more niche South Indian Tamil kingdoms. With European coins, I mostly collect Imperial Rome, I don't have any particular emperors in mind, except I wanted a coin with a bust of Julius Caesar (doesn't matter if lifetime or posthumous) and I got one extremely cheap this year itself. Now I'm looking to upgrade my worn adoptive era coins to better ones. Although I have a new itch for some early Roman Alexandrian tetradrachms. However with the South Indian coins, they are much more harder to come by than the Northern counterparts, but I find this area of numismatics to be really underrated, given kingdoms like Pandyas and Cholas existed since the time of Alexander III to the time of Renaissance. Almost every coin I have in this section was bought unintentionally, meaning I had to get it when I see one, and it doesn't help when most of the coins are also misattributed! But with any coins, my criteria is, does it interest me, does it look good? and last but not least, does it give the bang for the buck![/QUOTE]
