<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3074266, member: 19463&quot;]What is it that makes modern coin collectors feel the need to post to threads in the Ancient section telling us that photos are a waste of time and that a spreadsheet with data from slab labels could possibly cover the same needs?&nbsp; Should we go to the US section and talk about Q mint triple eagles?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In today&#039;s market, ancient coins sold individually almost always shown with photos.&nbsp; At the show I attended yesterday, I compared more than one coin to my photo file on an old Nook (same photos are on phone, computer and tablet).&nbsp; One prevented me from buying a duplicate.&nbsp; One drove me to upgrade.&nbsp; One I showed to a dealer who was amazed he had a coin with a countermark.&nbsp; I simply can not imagine collecting ancient coins without photos.&nbsp; We did it back when I started but then that asteroid killed all the dinosaurs and digital photography opened a new era for our hobby.&nbsp; If you can remember every ancient coin you have and every detail about them, you don&#039;t own enough ancient coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
