[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2207056, member: 26302"]I agree with both Martin and Doug. I am in the same boat. I have so many mini-specialties going I kind of ping pong all over the place. My last purchases have been: 1. Kuninda silver 2. Carolingian silver 3. Group lot of Syracuse mint Byzantine 4. Lead tesserae from Egypt 5. Two bronze Sassanian 6. Group of Byzantine miliaresia As you can see, it APPEARS I am all over the board, but every purchase was planned and filled a gap in a sub-collection. Even if they weren't, (I have been known to buy group lots of coins completely new to me), who cares? That new group lot will probably lead me in a new direction, and get me to read about history I might not otherwise have paid as much attention to. Like Doug, I relish being free of "Red Book oppression", and love to simply buy what I wish to buy when I am able. Its my relaxation, my education, my passion. There is no right or wrong way to buy, and I am glad I have found others who understand that as well. :)[/QUOTE]
