<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 4280173, member: 73165&quot;]Yeah, I get that. I have a nice, near MS Constantine the Great follis I love to show people. First, I explain what it is and who Constantine was. Then, I tell them to hold out their hand. People are often a little reluctant to even hold it in their bare hands. I just explain that there’s nothing your clean hands are going to do to the coin in 1 minute that almost 1700 years hasn’t already done. Then, I tell them I paid like $30 for it, and the reaction is almost always disbelief.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then, sometimes, I go into how you can find ancient coins for $10, $100, $1000, or $10000, and that the majority of mine are in the $100 range.&nbsp; They sometimes ask why ancient coins are so cheap, and I just shrug and say “supply and demand.” I think it really puts things in perspective.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I was saying earlier is that the high end goes higher than most collectors can reach in both cases, nothing more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
