<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2753335, member: 19463"]This is another case of where I would suggest avoiding the 'need' to buy something expensive that you don't understand or even want to understand. If you feel all 'washers' are equally uninteresting you could fulfill the nagging irritation by buying a <$1 Northern Song or common Wu Shu just as well as some rare script variation of a ruler who issued only a handful of coins. There are many common ones that people like you and I can have in the same sense as people who want only one Roman might get a Falling Horseman. If you are buying something Greek from a dealer that also sells Chinese coins, ask them what it would cost to get the lowest end decent looking thing that will satisfy your need without spending more on postage than you do on the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
