I don't disagree. But look it like this. If you have a hundred yards of room with blast white being on the 1 yd line, and toned black being on the...
It's a chocolate and vanilla thing. Personally I've never cared much for coins with that "look". But to others, that "look" is better than a...
But we are not talking about ancients. Chris ancients are a whole other world. You can't even begin to compare ancients to more modern coins, you...
