<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2298889, member: 19463&quot;]I believe it is a mistake to seek a focus but, rather, prefer that a focus will find you.&nbsp; This is done by experiencing as many different types, themes and coins as you can by attending a large show or even just reading my overview pages intended to ease a beginner into the hobby.&nbsp; These start here:</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/voc.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/voc.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/voc.html</a></p><p>Of course I would be happy if you looked over any of my pages indexed here:</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Certainly you might prefer to keep your military theme but I would keep an open mind in the first stages and try something more basic like a set of denominations or people/places you know.&nbsp; A set of all the Caesars is popular but frustrating since the last hundred of them get expensive and the last dozen nearly impossible.&nbsp; Ancients are not a pursuit to be undertaken with a blue Whitman folder like you might do with Lincoln cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
