<p>[QUOTE="joecoincollect, post: 2009754, member: 71338"]Without going to the more obscure areas of exonumia, I'll discuss some areas I don't care much for. First, paper currency. Some of the world currency art is nice, but I still haven't gotten into this collecting nor do intend to do so. At coin shows, there are always fewer paper money dealers, which seems to indicate lesser interest. Second, ancients. I have about two dozen holdered Romans and a few Greeks, but I just find the whole ancient collecting area overwhelming because of all the issues and centuries and centuries of history you have to understand somewhat. Current events/more recent history is perplexing and time consuming enough. Lastly, I get bored from the earlier US coin issues, namely the 1800s. This is mainly because these coins are expensive for me and I get tired of just reading about it all. I don't mean to offend anyone, I'm just thinking aloud, speaking freely. By the way, I mostly collect world coins in the 1900s, the silver and base metal coins. I also like US Barber coinage; common date, Vf and higher silver dollars, and a few other things[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
