<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Voulgaroktonou, post: 5127026, member: 84047&quot;]I share your thoughts. For 30 years I was curator to a private collection of Byzantine coins owned by a very dear friend. He was very wealthy and could afford anything the market offered him. Yes, he had wonderful gold of both common as well as rare issues, but we decided to focus his collecting on coins that the &quot;common man&quot; would have handled. Our only stipulation was that they had to be in the best possible condition. That is a hard goal to achieve in Byzantine coins, as you know! And also, because of the relative scarcity of silver, that was our second goal. We had many lucky years of collecting, and I am proud of the collection we assembled. It is a monument to him.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
