<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2896327, member: 19463&quot;]Be nice or I&#039;ll send nightmares!&nbsp; I prefer to identify with Cassandra.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a couple predictions which you can believe or not.&nbsp; When Sallent or any of the rest of us have been collecting longer (perhaps much longer) there will be additions or modifications to his specialties/interests.&nbsp; He may still like Gordian but he will also like something else or have narrowed it down a bit to, perhaps, Gordian Provincials.&nbsp; In my earlier days I was very Septimius Severus centered but became more of a generalist in the last couple decades.&nbsp; Don&#039;t be too quick to put down any collecting idea.&nbsp; You may be there before you know it.&nbsp; That said, I&#039;ll say, &quot;Kennedy Half Dollars???&quot;&nbsp; Of course, I switched to ancients before the started making them so I never considered collecting them.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Having collected for a bit longer than Sallent, I find myself totally incapable of naming Five Favorites.&nbsp; In 2013, I did post a page on what was then my 99 1/2 favorite coins which actually showed something over 120 coins (new math!).&nbsp; I have updated it a coupe times deleting a loser and replacing it with a new favorite but I suspect there would be several others that would be different if I were to start over and do the page from scratch. </p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/favs.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/favs.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/favs.html</a></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/favgroup.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>A big point here is that I have trouble picking 100 coins and I most certainly do not expect any of you to agree with my selections.&nbsp; I don&#039;t try for order within the hundred but obviously have some that may be in danger of being replaced.&nbsp; You may well wonder why anyone would buy that.&nbsp; We are fortunate they made so many ancient coins so we each can pick and choose.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
