<p>[QUOTE="jolumoga, post: 1855670, member: 41780"]Yeah, I find it strange that I stand out for seeking ancient coins of relatively high silver purity. I guess it comes more from having a background interest in bullion and fusing it with numismatics. Because of deteriorating fineness over time among Roman coins, I have focused lately on Roman Republic denarii. I also notice that this conflicts slightly with the sensibilities of some numismatists here, but overall we are on the same page.</p><p><br /></p><p>My interest in silver is also a good source of fuel to my coin hobby, though others might not think so at first. I plan on buying tetradrachms of Alexander the Great very soon. If I were not as fixated on silver, I might have taken the road of collecting sestertii instead. I see silver numismatics as a different flavor of bullion investing, even if values in some ancient coins far exceed bullion value -- it serves as a hedge to my pure rounds and bars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
