<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancientnoob, post: 1643616, member: 44140&quot;]In recent years it seems that ancient coin collecting is gaining steam and might someday become mainstream., if it hasn&#039;t begun doing so already. </p><p><br /></p><p>I find ancient Indian coins to be by far the cheapest coin fo</p><p>r the money. You can get high grade silver of a common ruler for no more then 30 dollars and rarer high grade stuff no one has ever heard of for a fraction of that if you look around.</p><p><br /></p><p>There does seem to be a decline in the amount of large &quot;uncleaned&quot; lots being sold. For what reason I don&#039;t know. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have noticed alot more Sassanian Persian and Syrian Roman and Greek&nbsp; coins come onto that market, as of late.</p><p>Coins of Carthage don&#039;t seem to pop up as often and Athenian Tetradrachms are now becoming unforeseeable (for me) in decent shape. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would almost go as far as to say that coins that we often discuss here on these forums and express interest in often tend to go up in price and sometimes become available, soon after... This I have noticed several times in the last 2 years, coincidence or the dealers are watching the masses.</p><p>Who knows I could be wrong but I would like to think that the common collector drives the market.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know but I see a bright future for ancient coins collecting. In the future I see a complete corpus with price guides and charts. Watch...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
