<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 2622152, member: 82549&quot;]Even though it&#039;s all over the map and often contradictory, everyone&#039;s advice has been very helpful and much appreciated. It&#039;s given me a lot to ponder. </p><p><br /></p><p>One thing I&#039;ve realized through this discussion is that even though I&#039;m collecting ancient coins, I&#039;ve still been approaching collecting with a U.S. coin mentality, that is, trying to get one example of each. That, of course, makes no sense with ancients because every ancient coin is unique. I took the same approach with my emperor collection, and now I&#039;m down to needing just a small handful of emperors that cost hundreds of dollars apiece. So I need to snap out of this idea of &quot;one of each,&quot; this idea of assembling a complete set of something. I suppose there are a few exceptions, like a 12 emperors set or the Hadrian travel series, but for the most part there is no such thing as a &quot;complete set&quot; with ancients.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
