<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4947524, member: 19463&quot;]I agree with Q.&nbsp; I run into this a lot in my Septimius Severus specialty.&nbsp; If asked to give a list of my ten favorite coins, most might be not only Septimius but coins many of you would believe to be the same as each other.&nbsp; I have had about a hundred &#039;milestone&#039; coins of which possibly half are Septimius and others are things from the half dozen other specialties I enjoy.&nbsp; Today I got an ad from a friend/dealer who was having a sale.&nbsp; I suspect he will sell many coins but not to me because most dealers do not want specialist type coins unless they know a customer who wants that exact coin.&nbsp; Those still collecting generally and those with only a few dozen coins will buy most of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>We specialists will have to face the problem someday when we need to find a dealer who wants 500 denarii of Septimius Severus or Domitian even if 50 of them are milestones to some degree.&nbsp; David has shared with us several milestone coins.&nbsp; In fact, because of his posts here, we all could have a handle on what there is in Flavian coins including several things we will be unlikely ever to add to our collections.&nbsp; I do not expect David to start looking for matches for what I post and I hope I can fight the urge to start collecting his specialty.&nbsp; I have too many specialties already![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
