<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1894513, member: 19463"]It is all a matter of opinion.

There were a few with ordinary coins at reasonable prices. I bought from two sellers of the last group. I considered buying a $1000 coin that was worth every bit of that amount but I decided that I would rather feel able to attend three of four more shows this year and buy a dozen coins at each. I saw a very nice follis of Neopotian for only $35k. I did not buy it but would be happy to put you in touch with the seller if you want it. </p><p><br /></p><p>That is the whole point of the hobby.
