<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1986038, member: 26302"]One at a time? Which coins? If "just" ancient, and only better ancients, (so not counting Chinese, even knives, spades, or other early Chinese), its probably 4-5 thousand or so. "Best" ancients probably 500-600 hundred, (coins that cost $100 or more). Digging through my crud recently, (still looking for that one for you Doug), its kind of surprising/depressing how much can accumulate. I found a group lot of course I don't remember buying of about 80 large Byzantines, including some types I have never seen. So, yeah, I guess taking pics of all of this would take a while. I do have my den done, so I do now have an official "coin spot". I actually have been considering taking a video of me pulling out some of this stuff, and going through it. I find it fun to do this occasionally since I never remember what I have bought, so its kind of like buying it all over again.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding Frank, I tend to almost ignore his pics. I have never had an overgraded coin from him, so I trust his written description. I hate to recommend him so highly since I just placed about $1800 worth of bids in his upcoming auction, but he is a nice man and a fair dealer, so deserves to have more customers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
