[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1203815, member: 26302"]I hear what you are saying about focusing on too many things at a time. I will tell you why the advice is so darn good.

This is terrific advice for a young or beginning collector. Someone like me who isn't so young and has been doing this a while, I feel free to come into and out of certain collections at will. An example is I just bought 2 coins, an ancient central asian coin and a 1913 mexican peso. I would not recommend a new collector to have such varied interests, but I have been collecting central asian for 10 years and had never seen this one, and I knew I needed this mexican type. Bottom line, if you are knowledgable about the various areas I think they are fine to colelct simultaneously. If you are a beginner, I would revert back and say its best to limit your attention until you get more experience. Chris[/QUOTE]
