<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Flashman, post: 1871840, member: 67579&quot;]This might seem a very &#039;obvious&#039; question, and I have my own ideas on why it is, but I want to hear what other people have to say.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have my eye on a silver Alexander the Great coin; lifetime issue. Nothing remarkable, priced around $120... it looks like a good thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>OK... then I go looking for a silver Augustus coin; lifetime issue. And, even though Augustus came along hundreds of years later, and ruled for many, many more years than Alexander... I can barely find something comparable at that price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then, just to really confuse this idea, I thought about a nice silver French coin from, say, the reign of Naopleon I. Now, this is much, much, much more recent in history (relatively speaking), and you&#039;d expect a lot of coins to be made, but what I found were scarcer and more expensive than the Augustus coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;m left scratching my head about how the most attainable coin for me, right now, is the oldest of the three, from a total legend; the coin is lifetime issue and I just can&#039;t see how it&#039;s more attainable and affordable than the others which, I thought, would have been the other way around.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thoughts? And cheers in advance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
