<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 3978238, member: 72790&quot;]Absolutely, I agree. They need to be discounted at the point of sale, not because they are not ancient coins but because much of the collecting community values them less. Or let me put it this way. When somebody offers one for sale the coin is worth almost as much as one from the official mint. When one tries to resell it they suddenly become problematic. Anyone perusing the coin selling websites will discover this and if one becomes a seller there is an obligation to point this out (and not in the fine print). Also in my early collecting days I was taken advantage of by a dealer who introduced me to ancient fourees, assuring me of their antiquity and good value. It turned out that some of them were modern copies and by the time I found out about this the place had closed. That old experience school can charge a heavy tuition. I don&#039;t mind owning and displaying ancient fourees. They carry an interesting story of their own behind them but they do not carry the resale value of those from the official mints.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
