<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 7808817, member: 97383&quot;]Obviously not all collectors share your point of view. Collectors of ancient coins are driven by rarity, historical importance, style, die state, condition, toning, or a combination of these factors. Most of us would be in common agreement what an uncirculated ancient coin should look like. Ancient coins use &quot;adjectival grading&quot;, unlike modern coins that tend to use the &quot;Sheldon standard&quot;. Since nearly all uncirculated ancient coins have been cleaned at some point, so the Sheldon standard of MS1-MS70 could never apply. Personally I can appreciate rarity &amp; historical importance, but I&#039;ve never been driven by those factors in my search for coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
