<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nathan P, post: 3581884, member: 99051&quot;]One of the things that keeps the hobby a niche is just the information that these ancient coins are even affordable, as the beginning of this post notes. When I&#039;ve shared my collection, people are shocked when I tell them that these 2,000+ year old objects are relatively affordable. I myself was introduced to the hobby just a few years ago by a friend. Despite the fact that I&#039;ve always had a huge interest in ancient history and am even a collector (previously, very old baseball cards, many of which I&#039;ve sold to fund my coin spending), it never occured to me that I could afford such beautiful pieces of history. Even after my friend told me about his interest, I had no idea where to buy the coins (I started on eBay), what coins I should buy, which coins were fake, etc. I have little doubt that this basic information gap has kept the hobby from going more mainstream. And frankly I don&#039;t really want it to! The less competition for coins the better, as far as I&#039;m concerned![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
