<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1778442, member: 26302&quot;]I know US collectors are not used to this, but its very common in ancients and world coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know its a little different price scale, but one time I was looking for a coin from Colchis since I was having a foreign exchange student from Georgia coming. I went to CICF, checked about every ancient dealer around the world, nothing. Everyone I asked said the same thing, &quot;its a scarce coin, but not rare. It should be no problem to find one&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, doesn&#039;t it make the acquisition that much sweeter? I mean, if you could have ordered this coin up for $5 at any time, and 50 people had them for sale, you would not appreciate the coin the same way as you do now, right? Sometimes a struggle is a good thing. Its part of the reason I became disinterested in US coins. Everything I collected was available at any moment, given you could write the check. Kind of takes the fun out of the pursuit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
