[QUOTE="Fugio1, post: 5370335, member: 89970"][B]Goal: De-focus a bit.[/B] This is my second post on this thread because I've thought about it more deeply since my first and I realize I would like to consider another goal. Years ago I collected everything, ancient to modern with limited themes of more than 4-5 coins in each category. These were seriously nice coins, but individual coins don't speak to me as much as collections of coins in a theme. I decided, primarily because of economics, that I would focus more tightly on something I could build a cohesive collection around. About 15 years ago, I began to immerse myself in the silver coins of the early denarius system and figured this would be a good place to focus my limited financial resources, so I sold most of everything else except Roman Republican silver in order to build my collection.Of course, I want to continue to build on my collection of Early Roman Silver, but I'm at a point now where I have most of the easy ones so the coins to complete this focus area come up infrequently and my condition/quality discrimination often pushes the cost beyond 4 figures a pop. I have been significantly influenced by this CT forum to look and learn about other areas. With that in mind, I am setting a goal to expand my focus to select at least one new area to collect and learn about this year. I don't yet know what that area will be but I have some ideas.[/QUOTE]
