<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2329004, member: 19463"]The point of that post is whether I am wasting my time posting coins here. I am. That subject has been discussed here on CT several times including one this month. The only people who seem to read late Roman posts are people interested in late Roman coins. I am odd in that I read and try to learn from the posts on coins that cost more than my entire collection is worth. I do not plan on owning the coins shown by our upper level members but I do have an opinion on them (like the matter of expecting to see transparency in a Claudius Spes' attire). We seem to have relatively few general collectors of ancients here. It is not even a matter of the market value of a coin since the posts of the two most expensive coins I have ever bought in 50 years both came in my CT years and were met with apathy since no one here collects them as a specialty and both were only fine since I could not afford an EF even if I could find one. My purpose was to determine if anyone was reading posts like the one that explained those coins. I found out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
