<p>[QUOTE="Ancientnoob, post: 2280440, member: 44140"]These ancient coins are some kind of "disorder" I have seen people pay hundreds if not thousands of dollars on a single coin weighing a fraction, of a fraction of a gram of silver and that silver maybe 97 % pure at best. Many of us stand and applaud the act. There are ancient collectors here who waste good money, on REALLY crappy coins from places most have never heard of.

Surely this man's VF Otho is better than his buddies 71' 3D4KHD Super TV. Surely TV guy would wonder why, Otho is not nearly as cool. He would ask that collector what Otho does to or for him that he would rather own that then the best TV?
