<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Only a Poor Old Man, post: 7325636, member: 111037&quot;]I earn as much as the OP albeit in British pounds. Nothing spectacular, pretty much the London average. However I suspect that many here presumed that I earn a lot more judging from some comments I got occasionally. But I can understand that, as in the short time I collect I bought quite a few coins of respectable quality. That was possible because I am the type of collector that will go after something I really desire and eat lentils for the rest of the month. And of course being forced to stay in the house for the last year and not going out eating or traveling has helped. I guess I know that as soon as things get back to normal and have the opportunity to do the things I like, will have no choice than to reduce the time/budget I will have for coins significantly. So I am not wealthy, just slightly irresponsible.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the OP, I will remind him of one of the first threads he started asking if it was possible to buy ancient gold for about $1000 if I remember correctly. I will repeat what I said about Byzantine gold. For that amount he could still get a decent example of nice art and condition. As he suggested, a histamenon could be a nice option, as I have seen some competitive prices for those lately even in the current climate.</p><p><br /></p><p>This one cost me around £600.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1280090[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
