[QUOTE="PlanoSteve, post: 4322785, member: 91609"]Oh, I totally get it, & it seems to be prevalent in the ancients community. :happy:;) I probably should have expanded on my comment, adding that for U.S. coin collectors (a group which includes me for the last 50 yrs or so) having 5 to 10 or more of the same coin/year/mint, & even grade, is sort of second nature. So for example, I don't feel that the life of one of my U.S. coins is dependent on the life of another. :D:D:D But I do understand, & what impresses me most about ancient's collectors is the greater "passionate" pursuit of the historical significance of each find, & the willingness to share that by passing off a coin to another custodian. I think this attribute is significantly greater in the ancients community. (Which is why I follow it so closely. ;)) Just my opinion...:);)[/QUOTE]
