[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2482078, member: 76194"]Let's see: 1) You hate collecting the same coins over and over again. 2) You want variety. 3) You don't care about the "investment" attitude a lot of people have. 4) You want beauty, history, and variety. 5) You only buy slabed coins. [B]Answer: You are an ancient coins collector and don't even know it.[/B] You definitely won't find much variety in US coinage, except for the type you need a microscope or a loupe to see, or mint marks and dates. You definitely won't find much history in U.S. coinage, and certainly not much in the way of artistry and beauty once you get to the mid-20th century and forwards. [B]Why Ancients?[/B] Because you can collect from dozens of Empires, spanning more than a millennia, spanning three continents, with thousands of different historically significant varieties of coins containing thousands of Gods, rulers, myths, animals, etc...so many that you'll never need to repeat a single coin. [B]And yes, you can buy NGC slabed ancient coins, [/B]but hopefully you'll outgrow your bad habit for slabed coins in due time.
