<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3191626, member: 76194&quot;][USER=73995]@Pickin and Grinin[/USER]&nbsp; If you ask me, all ancient coins deserve a caretaker. One of the things that has changed in me since I became an ancient coin collector is that I no longer look for perfection. I have come to accept and appreciate the beauty of coins that are less than perfect. I&#039;ve learned to love the history, uniqueness of each particular coin, and the talent of the celator that made that coin possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>And it&#039;s not because I can&#039;t afford high-end stuff. Heck, I could probably sell my entire collection off and get $15,000, and use that to buy 9 or 10 superb ancients graded by NGC from a high end auction. But would I really be happy doing that? The answer for me is a flat <b>NO! </b>I would end up missing my other coins far too much. You see, this hobby for me is not about acquiring the fanciest coins I can find, but rather the journey and experience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
