Message:: [QUOTE="Mat, post: 5831303, member: 21445"]I can pretty much agree with everything written. I also seem to fall into the categories mentioned, I.E. getting more into Parthians the past 2 years, becoming a type collector of larger crown size world coins the past 5 years. I have seen the prices of them go up just since I jumped into those canoes alone. Regular Byzantine copper seems to be used toilet paper still. I could buy them cheap all day but don't. I'm pretty selective when I am in the mood to buy one, that's why it's so small. Greek Silver/Roman Republic, both are areas I don't have a huge amount of compared to Romans & medievals. I have always found them expensive to collect even when I got into ancients. And for some reason, small fractional greeks don't wet my noodle. I prefer to shift a $50 small greek silver to a $65 Caracalla Tet, like the ones I posted recently. I also wonder if people, like me, are f-en fed up with Ebay and all their changes/tax collecting and so on. Since the taxes & Covid, I have slowed down my buying drastically. I've moved to HJB Auctions, more Vcoin auctions, and a few others. And doing so has caused me to be more selective. And the covid issue is because of the shipping. I stay within the U.S & wonderful Canada.  Overseas is no more, for the time being. Too damn expensive and the wait to deliver isn't worth it.[/QUOTE]
