[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2457743, member: 56859"]One of the wonderful things about collecting ancient coins is that there is no one prescribed way to proceed :). I have no overall theme, instead collecting whatever appeals to me for whatever reason. I do have a few subsets which are more purposeful in their theme, but even with that there is considerable flexibility. In general, I gravitate towards coins which are visually appealing (and that doesn't always mean high grade-- it's more about the design and artistry), coins which make me laugh, coins of historical interest, and in some instances coins of historical note which may not be particularly artistic or visually appealing.
