<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1649681, member: 42773&quot;]The ancient cultures are fascinating, yes, and I&#039;ve always considered myself a man of letters, so the aspect of research is a bonus. It&#039;s decidedly more satisfying for me to discover the particulars of history than to study census reports and memorize die varieties. That&#039;s why I say the registry may not be for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>But some of my modern collecting strategy applies to ancients. Most of my Kennedys are mid-grade MS pieces with attractive toning. I find myself drawn to similar kinds of ancients - coins in VF with distinctive colors. I definitely like and admire a well-struck, uncirculated coin with pristine surfaces, but I&#039;m more apt to pull the trigger on a piece with eye-catching desert patina. Or blue - I need me some blue![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
