<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 8468221, member: 26302&quot;]Eh, everyone in any hobby believes their hobby is undervalued. I like it where it is and I can still buy things.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another thing to remember about ancients is the ability to buy at all. Some coins simply are not for sale for years at times. I told the story of how I was looking for a Constantine VII silver naming Christopher, ( my name), and it was not for sale anywhere for years and years. That is another wildcard. </p><p><br /></p><p>Pay attention to my &quot;buy into hoards&quot; comment. You might think an Athenian tet should be $500-800 since the entire time you have been in the hobby a huge hoard has been disbersed. One day that hoard will be gone and the same coin will be $1200 like it used to be. I have many coins that I own 35 or 50 of that you might only see 1 or 2 for sale today on Vcoins. I bought into the hoard and those coins are up 100% before today&#039;s price increases. That can be a huge benefit long term to a collection. That is how a lot of us longer term collectors got so many cool coins unavailable today, we bought what we can when we could. Heck, most of my Chinese collection was bought 20 years ago when they were more widely available and cheap.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
