<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2615240, member: 19463&quot;]I was once told by a very know-it-all expert that coins of Septimius other than from Rome should be ignored because they had bad style.&nbsp; I have a few from Rome but have always preferred the Eastern coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; There are those who collect for fine art, those who collect for history and those who collect for whatever reason they please.&nbsp; It is all OK.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Certainly, we try to make that point all the time.&nbsp; It makes no difference that there are only a few of a coin if no one wants them.&nbsp; I have a number of coins that exist in fewer specimens than will fit in one hand but sell for less than ancients that exist by the hundreds of thousands (how many owls are there???).&nbsp; If no one cares, you will have trouble selling the only one that exists.&nbsp; There are a million types of ancients and no one is planning to complete the set. Rarity means nothing; supply vs. demand is everything.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
