<p>[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 2622165, member: 78244"]The difference here is that I am not actively searching for a denarius (or even a bronze) of Nero. I just happened to find a historically interesting coin for cheap. Had I bought it, it would have filled that interesting slot in history so I could tell a story about it. Being inexpensive, I would not have to step far out of my collecting interests to get it. At least that was my logic when I posted it here.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Most people who post that are not interested in the coin enough to pay the higher cost and/or do not know the value of the coin to someone who is. I wouldn't pay more than $100 for a 1909 S VDB because I don't really care about finishing the set. I know it is worth more to those who care, but I'm not about to shell out $500-1000 more for a coin I'm not interested in. I see several bronzes posted here that I am surprised members paid upwards of $300 for. That surprise is caused by both ignorance and disinterest in that area of collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
