<p>[QUOTE="Blake Davis, post: 3017903, member: 91820"]You are right! I am a collector of relatively modest means and still have a number of coins that have either unique attributes or exist with examples in the single digits. But it doesn’t mean too much in this hobby - condition is far more important. For example I have an “As” from the Lugdunum mint of Clodius Albuinus - the only other one is in the British Museum. Yet when I showed it to a major coin dealer (not to sell just showing off) I was told that its value was only about $300 because the condition was only fine plus. This for a coin that was only the second known of its type![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
