<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1804625, member: 19463&quot;]There is a significant difference about ancient coins that makes a place like CT of great value to us.&nbsp; Many of the coins posted here are new to many of those of us who collect them.&nbsp; If you have seen a 1912 nickel you have a pretty good idea what all other 1912&#039;s will look like but there can be great value in seeing 20 different examples of the same ancient coin since the lack of die duplication machinery can make all 20 considerably more different than you might believe.&nbsp; &nbsp; A modern US Red Book can consider itself a good representation of what is available to collect short of rather microscopic die differences but we of the ancient ilk really benefit from seeing as many coins as we can even if we have no intention of owning everything that exists.&nbsp; We hope that our ramblings and pet pictures don&#039;t make us seem abusive but we actually do enjoy seeing coins that are not for sale and that we might possibly never see again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
