<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lrbguy, post: 3556872, member: 88829&quot;]I should reply to this, since I think it does have a bearing on my conundrum.&nbsp; I do indeed collect the campgates by officina and even beyond.&nbsp; I collect them by brick layer counts and all the &quot;stray&quot; marks that come along.&nbsp; Back in the nineties I was paying top dollar in bidding wars against other cranks like me who &quot;just had to have it.&quot;&nbsp; The hook was set, but about a decade ago I stopped seeking out the lost when the other devotees started drifting away.&nbsp; Still, I have held on to everything I had bought up to then.&nbsp; Several hundred of them.&nbsp; Made some original finds, but published nothing. So along comes an item like this and a part of me says &quot;Get it and tell the story,&quot; but another part of me says, &quot;<i>Cui bono</i>?&quot;&nbsp; If you want to tell the story, then paying top dollar makes some sense.&nbsp; But if I&#039;m not going to tell the story, why pay top dollar for the coin after all?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
