<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 3983351, member: 84905&quot;]I think that is the beauty of ancient coin collecting. You are not under any pressure to complete a certain series, as this is usually not possible. You can just go with your interest. My collection of Roman coins is very haphazard. I&#039;m not so interested in the first two centuries AD, but I like the second half of the 3rd and the 4th centuries. I am very particular about condition, meaning that most of my coins are common, but are nice to look at.</p><p>My wife and children have no interest in coins whatsoever. I live in Europe and I used to go to the London coin fair regularly and I visited two other smaller coin fairs in London a lot. Since I live in Switzerland now, I try to go to the big auctions, but I&#039;m usually outbid by the collectors with big money. It is still nice to go, because the auctions take place in fancy hotels and they sometimes offer free refreshments <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. </p><p>Curiously enough the only face-to-face contact that I had with a real ancient coin collector was some 20 years ago, when Warren Esty (Valentinian) visited me in London.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
