<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 5272500, member: 72790&quot;]Like you, I started and specialized in US coinage (in 1957) but a few years later acquired my first ancient. Some time ago I decided to concentrate on my ancients. I would offer something of advice I had many years ago from a seasoned collector. The advice sounds harsh but it was good advice. Junk stays junk, forever. Limit the number of coins in your collection to those with no problems (corrosion, bronze disease, roughness, over cleaning, excessive wear). A coin that that is a joy to behold (look at my avatar) will always be a joy to behold for many, many years to come. In my opinion it is better to have common coins that look great than rare ones that look like they have gone through a blender with scrap metal, gravel and battery acid.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
