<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2545287, member: 39&quot;]Such a prefix makes sense whenever you want to show that there is some interest in some particular topic. Same thing with exonumia of example - some specialized collectors want to have their own forum on Coin Talk, and using such tags helps to find out whether it would actually makes sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not collect ancients, but since many of you guys seem to have very flexible concepts of ancient and medieval (&quot;I got this coin, so it must be ancient&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ), I have a closer look at some of your topics.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also keep in mind that a lot depends on how many &quot;fellow&quot; collectors you have in a forum or elsewhere. For me it is always a difficult issue - should I post about 20c/21c European coins (particularly euro pieces) where there are several others who discuss them, or at a site where most people are not interested in them?</p><p><br /></p><p>And this is not necessarily a European vs North American issue. In Germany for example you find euro coins at many shows, but on Saturday I went to the Salon Numismatique in Paris (we had a meeting of another forum site there) and was disappointed to find hardly anything beyond ancient Roman and old French coins. For others that was a feast, hehe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
