I don&#039;t want any ill will to be directed at them because they have been very cordial and kind with me over the years</i>) but anyway the Indo-Scythian coins are being marketed toward non-collectors as “Coins of the Wise Men” or coins that may have been used as “Gifts to the Christ Child” I know it&#039;s a stretch but it is a charming story. Here&#039;s one of my early purchases (<i>Still entombed and I may leave it that way because of the rather high grade that my NGC friends have bestowed upon it</i>) I have several of these. They were originally packaged in cases that featured graphic images of the camel riding Wise Men.—I&#039;m not going to criticize this well known company for marketing them this way (<i>in Wise Men Boxes etc.</i>) We come to ancients collecting in many different ways and the Biblical Relic strategy which many companies use, was the way I was lured in. Anyway my interest in ancients has definitely been fueled by exposure to the many varieties and ideas of the Ancients Forum members here—and the awesome knowledge and specialization of the Forum members—not to mention—<i>you&#039;re a cool bunch of guys to hang out with</i>—<i>so in conclusion</i>—I&#039;m glad I&#039;m here! It takes what it takes whether its Biblical Relic hype or some other avenue.</font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Georgia">[ATTACH=full]697715[/ATTACH] </font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
