<p>[QUOTE=&quot;philologus_1, post: 24831567, member: 92212&quot;]Great idea!&nbsp; You obviously put a lot of thought and time into this! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I have examples from each of the 7 categories/levels you included.</p><p><br /></p><p>You have inspired me to make a similar chart based on my own interests in ancient coinage. There is such a high degree of subjectivity in this.&nbsp; For instance...</p><p>...1. My overall collection theme is predominately &quot;biblical&quot;, yet even I would not place &quot;widows mite&quot; as high as you did.&nbsp; In terms of being desirable for a biblical collection it admittedly falls high on the list, but for me it is not as high as a shekel of Tyre.&nbsp; Also mites are not all overpriced.&nbsp; I just did a quick search on VCoins for &quot;mite&quot;/&quot;mites&quot; and found 53 (!!!) different listings for $20 or less. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>...2. An antoninianus of Gordian III which shows on your illustration in the next-to-the-top category would be way underneath the iceberg on my list.</p><p><br /></p><p>At the risk of redundancy allow me to say again that your project was a wonderful idea! It has challenged me to do likewise.&nbsp; And it&#039;s actually a good and helpful exercise for deciding how to prioritize precious funds for future acquisitions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for sharing![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
