<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2751495, member: 76194&quot;]When you consider many of us (especially the generalists amongst us)&nbsp; start our collections in the pre-coin era, which can go as far back as 1,000 BCE, when there was proto-money of all sorts, and we continue through 1,500 CE or so (the end of the medieval era), and a geographical era spanning from North Africa to Northern Europe, and out east to the Middle East, India, Southeast Asia, and China, the variety is so great and overwhelming that you will never know even 10% of everything there is to know, and you will never be able to own every coin there is (not even close).</p><p><br /></p><p>U.S. numismatists have nothing on us. Their hobby is so repetitive. One can memorize every U.S. coin type and major varieties in a few months. With ancients, you&#039;ll never stop learning. There is just not enough time in a human life, nor enough money, for you to learn it all or have it all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
