<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 2756265, member: 78244&quot;]There isn&#039;t any of this drama over in the ancients forum. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>No nitpicky grades, no competing in registry sets, no being anal about actually handling your coins... and a blatant (friendly) loathing of slabs. Everyone loves their coins for the stories they tell and the history they witnessed. A very different attitude from collectors bashing each other for the sake of 1-2 points on a grade, or the presence of a DDO, or a berry in a different place than on other coins. I get a feeling that very few people appreciate the history these coins represent as they have become just a commodity. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t say I am immune from this when it comes to modern coins as they are a source of money for college. As a type collector, I like how each piece in my collection tells a story. All of the coins I commoditize are coins for which the story is represented by an example I already have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
