<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1785866, member: 19463"]We will all differ on what makes a great coin and what makes something we would not look twice at if we came upon one in a half price bin. That is the great thing about ancient coins. You can find something you like in a grade you can accept for a price you are willing to pay. If I had to spend $1,000,000 on coins I guarantee it would not include an EID MAR denarius or mint state Roman aurei (except one or two of Septimius Severus which I have been wanting for decades). If you, like me, are not in the price range of foil thin gold, join me in finding some interesting silver or copper at a price under what most of you will spend on dinner at a restaurant within the next week. Seek to capture what thrills you and fits you in as many ways as possible. There are too many fish in this pond to mourn the ones that got away.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
