<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Norma Fries, post: 8019876, member: 113399&quot;]My collection, started in early 2019, is mostly the result of:</p><p>- is it art to me?</p><p>- **OR** even if somewhat ugly, is it historically important to me?</p><p>- the&nbsp; I decide if I&#039;ll go to the mat for it or do a lower bid and be OK if I lose</p><p>(and all that mostly has to do with how often I have seen such a coin, in such a condition, in any auctions)</p><p><br /></p><p>And, of course, if it is BOTH beautiful AND historically important, then I consider how much less food my dogs, cats, and I can deal with (LOL!).</p><p><br /></p><p>For reasons unknown to me, I have never been attracted to &quot;completing sets&quot; nor have I been attracted to getting a specific themed collection, or specific mints, or emperors, or whatever. It is primarily about art to me, to be honest. Thinking that each was made by hand is a major draw for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>But looking over what I have, clearly the Greek coins win most of my money. And I really have a hard time passing up a fine Syracuse tetradrachm. But I do have a few special Roman coins to be sure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
