<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3225602, member: 76194&quot;]The other day, after looking at some of my recent Greek purchases, I realized what a breath of fresh air the newer acquisitions were. I can&#039;t help but feel I&#039;ve overdone it with Gordian III and that a single collecting focus is not my thing. Almost 1/6 of my collection is Gordian III. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;ve made a decision. I think I&#039;m going to sell my Gordians (except for my favorite 2 or 3) and use the money to keep acquiring diverse Greek and Roman coins in areas of my collection that are still underrepresented, such as Roman Republic bronze coinage, Greek bronze and Greek western city states, and Celtic. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry to disappoint the other die hard Gordian III fans here, but I haven&#039;t had as much fun collecting as I&#039;ve had over the last few months with all my Greek purchases that were outside my usual zone of comfort. Isn&#039;t that what collecting is all about? Discovering new things instead of the same old, same old routine?</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, sorry for being kind of quiet here lately, but I&#039;ve been spending my free time reading historical fiction set in Roman times, doing outdoors camping trips with my son, and browsing astronomy forums and buying up new astronomy gear (can&#039;t wait to show off my new astronomy toys soon --though I had to use my coin budget for the next 6 months to get it all <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> )[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
