What can you tell me about these, please? Coin No. 5 Septimus Severus Coin No. 6 Trebonianus Gallus Coin No.7 Gordian III Report this Post to the Staff

Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 10/26/2014 03:14 am Thanks, CM. As I am starting out I made the mistake of acquiring hard to read bronzes because I could accumulate more for my dollar. Since then, some well intentioned members (thanks P.P., ech, TIF, and others), have educated me to believe that less (volume) is more (quality) and that waiting is a virtue, and now I am seeing the results. I am happy. Report this Post to the Staff

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5177 Posts	Posted 10/26/2014 05:44 am Maybe I should consider quality. Maybe if I save money for the next few years I could save up enough to buy a high-quality rare coin on an auction (and a plane ticket there, which might well cost almost as much as the coin). I personally prefer going to the Vernisage once every few months and leaving with a ziploc-ful of cheap LRBs... maybe next time I'd get a coin of Marcian, Zeno, or Valentinian III (or even Anastasius).

A (man?), much wiser than I, once said "It doesn't matter where you start, just as long as you start". Now he could have been talking about collecting coins (or eating a custard pie).
