<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mat, post: 2210686, member: 21445&quot;]I&#039;ve said it before, but the main appeal with ancients, for me, other then history, is the rules attached to moderns don&#039;t really apply to ancients. They all have been cleaned and they are meant to be handled. Plus acquiring scarce to rare coins can be had pretty cheap since there is so many variety. It adds to the fun &amp; appeal. </p><p><br /></p><p>With moderns its all about slabs &amp; MS this, don&#039;t handle it that. It&#039;s pretty boring. Silly &quot;grade census&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still buy modern world coins on a regular basis, all raw.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think slabs took the fun out of collecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and what ruffles our feathers in our group?, slabbed ancients &amp; slabbed ancient grading. So we do have our little quarrels. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
