<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2127143, member: 19463"]Just a warning from one who has been there. Keeping upgraded coins 'for now' sometimes means you really have no great desire to move along the old one. For example I recently upgraded my as of Nero with the Temple of Janus reverse. The old one is not all that bad compared to most I see offered but its main feature is being the less common of the two reverse legends and I would really prefer the thing go to someone who would appreciate it for that feature than someone who considered it a Nero for their one-per-emperor collection. Those of us who are into coins for the money have no understanding of such 'numismo-anthropomorphizing' but some of these coins are just a little like family. The other problem with ancients is that there is often one way the old coin is still better than the upgrade. In such cases, I often have multiple coins where a person with any sense would have one. I'll hope someday to have one of these potty denarii, too, so you can add me to the list of people who you can adopt and add to our inheritance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
