<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2491024, member: 76194&quot;]If you needed further proof of what TPGs are trying to do to our hobby, here is a quote from a &quot;Rare Coins&quot; website that specializes on only selling TPG slabbed coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>In other words, buy graded ancient coins...it&#039;s the next get rich quick market in numismatics. If it was me, I&#039;d say&nbsp; &quot;Buy ancient coins for their beauty and their history, the uniqueness of each hand-struck coin, etc, etc.&quot; But for the modern investor, it&#039;s all about commodity, market forces, investment, higher price potential, etc. They don&#039;t want to hear why Caracalla&#039;s portraits had a frown, or why Rome minted the Victoriatus, or why the coinage was devaluated in the 3rd century, or how the antoninianus came to replace the denarius...all they want to hear is <b>&quot;rare,&quot; &quot;commodity&quot;, &quot;profit potential.&quot;</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
