Some of you might think - WTF, has EVP gone off his meds? Nah - this was just a failed effort at seeing what else I may have interest in collecting... They were (relatively) inexpensive, so it's ok. I bought these over 2 years ago and haven't bought any more since -- mostly due to a lack of both knowledge and funds.

There are so many areas of ancient and medieval coins that have "newbie appeal": inexpensive prices, a decent amount of literature, relatively few quality fakes, and interesting designs. It's so easy to find something nice, and frequently inexpensive. Since I never sell coins, I have to be careful not to blow my budget too easily, as once the money is spent, it's gone.
Cool stuff
