<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2150014, member: 42773&quot;]There are counterfeits in any collecting field. Ancient civilizations churned out vast, untold millions of coins, and in the case of the Romans, perhaps billions. They are still being discovered all over Europe, Asia Minor, the Levant, etc., sometimes in massive amounts.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other than that, everything boils down to demand. If nobody wanted the 1793 Disme, it wouldn&#039;t be worth anything. Your question is a common one among collectors starting out in ancients: how can something so old be so affordable? It all boils down to demand. Rarity does not equate to market value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
