<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 2535123, member: 76086"]Interesting question. When I got started back in the 80's, most collectors of coins also had at least a small antiquity collection. Most ancient dealers also had a small to larger selection of antiquities. These days it seems most dont collect them, and most coin dealers dont sell them either. I speculate that part of it is the increase in the price of shipping. It is cost prohibitive, especially if the package leaves the US. I just sold a nice Luristan axe and a couple of coins. The shipping to Australia means that I actually lose money on the transaction. Bummer, but that is the risk.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a pic of some items I have (not all). I have posted before. What is my favorite? That little ceramic black cat my daughter painted and gave me for Christmas!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]542355[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
