[QUOTE="YOC, post: 1866757, member: 58941"]I'd say, depends on 2 things only....... 1. What takes your fancy...what coins do you really like? 2. What is your budget? You will inevitably reach a compromise somewhere in the middle of the two, in other words you'll decide gold is nice but too expensive (unless you are ancient Joe) and setttle on something realistic and achievable. Late Roman bronze is a good cheap starting point (generally) if you want to start building a collection of quality coins..... as you drift into more exotic and expensive coins, unless you have deep pockets, the quality will slope off ........ oh....point 3, maybe you'll not focus on any particular type/era and just go with your heart to build up a collection of ancient 'odds n sods' which are special to you simply because they are eye candy and took your breath away! either way, its an exciting road to go down, one which I have only just started walking and it'll be nice to have you on the 'dark side'[/QUOTE]
