<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3089452, member: 19463&quot;]Budgets can limit us both ways.&nbsp; We see many collectors who seem to define coins worth collecting as expensive coins.&nbsp; To me, there are cheap coins worth having.&nbsp; I&#039;ll point out that Clio has outbid me and not just those of you who collect the &#039;good stuff&#039;.&nbsp; I would respect a collection more if it contained good examples of interesting coins that did not cost thousands.&nbsp;&nbsp; There is a good reason we who have limited budgets don&#039;t have the high end material - we can&#039;t afford it.&nbsp; What is the reason high end collectors don&#039;t all have fine collections of common coins?&nbsp;&nbsp; There are aurei I regret not owning because they would fit my collections.&nbsp; I&#039;d love a COS II Emesa aureus and really love an Alexandrian Septimius.&nbsp;&nbsp; Are there denarii that aurei collectors deem worthy?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
