<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carausius, post: 2770155, member: 76440&quot;]I completely agree with Doug&#039;s statement, and I&#039;ve made similar statements in the past. For my collecting style, the best approach is to buy opportunistically. I have an idea in my head of areas where my collection is generally weak (RR didrachms, early denarii with symbols, imperatorial portraits, early struck bronzes) and I buy quality coins in those areas when the opportunity arises. However, I try not to concede quality just to buy from these high-need areas.&nbsp; If there are better-quality coins available in low-need areas, I will buy those instead.&nbsp; Next week, the availability may be reversed.&nbsp; Buying ancient coins from fixed lists encourages concessions, and I&#039;ve generally regretted the few times I&#039;ve bought coins with that mindset. </p><p><br /></p><p>Having said all that, my RR list includes:</p><p>1. Republican Didrachms;</p><p>2. Quadrigati of various issues;</p><p>3. Early struck bronzes;</p><p>4. Early denarii with symbols;</p><p>5. Imperatorial portrait denarii, including J.C.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
