<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 7543089, member: 19463"]I'm glad someone answered the question addressed to me. Reviving a thread from the distant past is not a good way to find information. I often skip those threads and only saw this one by chance. I am spending a lot less time here now that posts in the ancient section are more likely to be from people who do not know they are posting in the ancient section or who think 'ancient' means before they were born. If the current prices of coins continues after the Covid problem abates, there will be no reason for me to go to coins shows when they resume so I will be out of the hobby. Not adding coins to the collection makes me less inclined to research. Thanks to Sulla80 for stepping in here. </p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p><br /></p><p>This is a mistake on their part. My pages served their purpose when the Internet was young and there was little material on ancient coins. I stated clearly on the index page that they were amateur efforts until people who should be writing such pages came along and made them obsolete. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #ff4d4d">"This page is very much a 'fast food' or 'pop culture' approach to the subject of ancient numismatics. I am an amateur collector and offer no guarantee of completeness or accuracy on any material on this site. I recommend that you research your questions rather than accepting blindly anything posted here. I also recommend you apply this same degree of care in using any other source material online or in hard copy. This site was intended to expose new collectors to an enjoyable hobby. No claim is made to serious scholarship. Serious numismatists are also welcomed here while they await publication of more proper and scholarly coverage of this material." </span></p><p><br /></p><p>Those days are gone. I have been considering asking that my web pages be taken down completely since the errors I have discovered bother me and I have lost access to correct them.
