<p>[QUOTE="Mike Margolis, post: 3219969, member: 88401"]Funny- he just posted here on this thread! I don't think he is a shill working for these fake sellers if that's what you mean. I think he is only like many newbies just developing a sense of what quality ancient coins and artifacts look and feel like. Most of the old timers here have probably got to see and handle real high end ancient museum quality beauties. that experience and many years hones your appreciation for the good stuff. You develop your own tastes but also gain a sense for what is not good. I think that poster is truly searching for one of those rare treasures that the seller himself on ebay or elsewhere does not know he has. Many here have posted those unexpected windfalls but they are rare. He still is only beginning to develop a true discernment and aesthetic for good stuff. he should look through TIF's collection or some others here like Valentinian, Roman Collector, Doug Smith and Ed Snible....and several others. That of course is just my opinion anyway. You have to start studying fine coins to get a taste for them. Ebay is not the place to do that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
