Hello everyone. I’m going to start collecting some coins. I’m an ancient
history buff and think it will add to my enjoyment and give me some
hands on fun to add to my reading.
I’ve decided a few things about what and how I will collect and I know this will change overtime.
Here are my self imposed rules and guidlnes to start my collecting.
1. I’ll try to stick with mostly ancient
Greek coins and try to concentrate on coins from the classical period. I have an attraction to
Roman coins as well but for now I’m going to start with Ancient
Greece. It’s pretty wide
area as it is. I especially want to learn more about
Asia Minor. I’ve been to
Turkey,
Greece and
Italy. I want to collect areas that remind me of my travels.
2. I’m going to attempt to only collect strong images that appeal to me. Nice images and
good condition.
Quality over quantity.
3. For now I’m going to buy just from Joseph. I like having a
forum to discuss things and ask for advice. I appreciate that he’s spent the time to offer this great resource.
I’ve purchased 6 coins from Joseph but 4 were yesterday and I should get them this week. I’ll show some pictures once I figure out how to post them later.
Thanks for reading. I’m very open to suggestions!
Mark
