<p>[QUOTE="xlrcable, post: 1890193, member: 41288"]Right of course. I know. And I really don't have any problem with Reynolds's conclusions - I just don't think his tables of market values are a good way of supporting them, since plenty of coins that Reynolds can't stand also have high market values. But looking again at his article - he wants to validate his opinions on an absolute financial basis, and so he's dismissive of people who date the classic era according to historical events (the withdrawal of gold coinage) or sentimental factors (date ranges in old coin albums). Well, what's coin collecting if you suck all the history and nostalgia out of it? Just a weird and seriously ill-considered investment strategy, if you ask me.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I read cladking's forthright defense of moderns, it makes me feel like collecting more moderns.
