<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ripley, post: 668025, member: 19199&quot;]&quot;Why do we collect them? Because they are not boring. Relatively fewer ancients collectors are in it for investment and the opportunities for study are immense. Being &#039;sure&#039; is not as important if you consider $10 spent on a fake to be an educational expense rather than a world ender. Why do US collectors pay 80 times as much for a Lincoln cent with an S under the date than one without? Why do they pay hundreds more for a coin which exists with only a hundred known to be nicer rather than a similar item with a thousand nicer? Because that is the hobby each of us has chosen.&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Well said Doug.&nbsp; Holding these ancients in hand is real history, think about where and who and why of the coin over the eons.&nbsp; I love em. </p><p>Traci&nbsp;&nbsp; Kiss[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
