Message:: [QUOTE="Ian, post: 24298, member: 283"]A challenging set of objectives you have there. My problem (well, one of the many...) is that my interests are  splattered across the entire numismatic timeline AND geography. If it's a coin, and irrespective of whether it's ancient / mediæval / modern then i'm interested. I had objectives once....but like most of my annual New Year resolutions...they never lasted more than a few weeks. The handful of mediæval coins that I have are from 1100's -1400's from the Lowlands and France (Utrecht, Brabant, Flanders, Artois, Burgundy, Lorraine for example) with a few Brits, German and Indian stuff for that period thrown in. There is no way I could focus solely on mediæval coinage. There's just too many other interesting coins out there for me to be able to box one area of numismatics off from the whole. In one way I am envious of those who can, but on the other hand I think being a `browser' also has its merits. One track leads to specialism (a lot about a little) the other to generalism (a little about a lot). Ian The Goatlike[/QUOTE]
