[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1298256, member: 26302"]Like me? :) My comment was more being able to see the real coin. I doubt I will ever own an octodrachm, or many other great rarities, but if I see them in person I have a better feel of what they are like. I am just seen a lot of coins at shows that were much different in person than what I expected. The first time seeing a massive Ptolemy bronze in person cannot be replicated by a photo, nor many other hefty Greek issues and other coins. I know eventually after 20 years most ancient collectors have a better feel for all of the various denominations issued over time, but for a newer collector I just think a show is a great way to see the best way, in person, what all of these coins they may see online really are like. That's all. Chris[/QUOTE]
