[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 20817163, member: 24754"]I certainly like them, and plan to get one. But, I only started looking into them a few years ago and nearly every auction that I've ever seen has had piles of them (10 or 20+ sometimes). Yet, even though they've always seemed to be the most plentiful individual coin, they perpetually bring prices that dwarf types that are much rarer. I understand that it is one of those "everybody wants one" type coins, but could the demand really justify the prices? I mean, how many ancient coin collectors are there in the world that could still need one? I also know that the recent plenty is due to a huge hoard that was discovered a few years ago. I figured the prices would come down over time as these coins were worked into the supply, but that never seemed to have happened (after the initial drop). Also, there seems to be noticeably fewer showing up in each auction lately (2-4 or so), so maybe the hoard coins are depleted? In any case, I'll someday be happy that I waited if the prices adjust downward based on the supply :pompous:. Or, I will have missed the hoard boat and end up paying more :rolleyes:. Either way, I'll get one eventually! Nice coins by the way![/QUOTE]
