[QUOTE="kirispupis, post: 8024166, member: 118780"]One thing I didn't mention in my original post, is the reason I have such a system. I collect "stories" rather than coins, and the story of Philip II, Alexander III, and the Era of the Diadochi is the one I'm most interested in (by far). I therefore strive to pick up coins that help me tell that story. Why do I not pick up other coins? It's simply about budget. My wife isn't crazy about the costs of some recent purchases, so the list artificially constrains it. Already, most of the coins I'm after are rarer. That means most auctions don't have something that I want, so I skip them. Eventually, I'll have either picked up all 16 remaining coins, or I'll be left with one or two that are for the long haul. After that, I have a list of cities related to this era that I'd like, and who knows after that.[/QUOTE]
