<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 1806331, member: 44357&quot;]No offense taken - my main concern was your &quot;dislike&quot; of the Gordian sestertius as I read that you were expecting an upgrade to yours and now you have to go through and sell it. I like your Hadrian and I agree that a few dollars here and there isn&#039;t going to break the bank, and certainly produces quality enjoyment. I think the history behind coins is the most appealing aspect of it all and I do often pick mine up and just stare at them for minutes, dreaming of their history.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, no one knows what opportunity will be coming around the corner. $25 every couple months isn&#039;t going to change the financial picture of most people but if you start spending $500 here, $600 there, etc. on coins which are not &quot;all there&quot; for the type, you could tie up funds that prevent you from getting a really great $1000 purchase, as you may end up losing a fair amount if you tried to sell in a hurry. </p><p><br /></p><p>Dealers love understating problems when selling and emphasizing on them when buying. It&#039;s the nature of the business, but if you buy quality coins and eventually want to trade up to an even &quot;bigger&quot; coin, it will be easier to sell them and you won&#039;t get dealers saying &quot;Well, it&#039;s nice but it has X wrong with it&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Glad to hear that you enjoy your purchase and I look forward to hearing your insight with your Classical History degree![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
