<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 2765130, member: 78244&quot;]I switched my focus to US type collecting and ancient Chinese coins for the same reason. Then I got a fanciful idea that ancient coins were a lot cheaper than US coins, so I decided to branch out a little bit. What I saw was a culture shock; most of the interesting coins were in the hundreds of dollars, while I was used to paying less than $1 each for my Chinese coins. But If I look at a Julius Caesar denarius for $500, I would hardly hesitate in comparison to a $500 Morgan Dollar. The denarius just has a lot more character, and far fewer people have one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Plus my favorite $300+ Morgan dollar I got for $17. No need to pay up.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I still collect US coins as a type set. It is still interesting, and you are not paying up because a coin was embossed in a slightly different way than the rest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
