[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.
