<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3225306, member: 19463"]This happens over and over. It is necessary to get what you want when you can because it is not safe assume that there will be available coins next year or in a decade when your interest rotates around to whatever it is that is currently available. Yes, CNG has sold about 4000 of them including some nicer than mine and some really bad ones. I do not suggest we all rush out and buy a fifty year supply as medoraman might prefer but it is a good time to get that one for your general collection. Will they be cheaper later? Will someone who has bought vast numbers of them publish a book that makes them popular and understandable? We do not know. I enjoy my three. I may get others if the price is right and they are a good fit to my interests at the time. I will not be paying 10 times the current price to have one just a bit better than the ones I have or buying a bulk lot of also-ran grade specimens. Filling each of our particular styles of collecting is why those ancient Lycian Dynasts (hereditary rulers who were not really big enough deals to be full fledged kings but served to keep those regions of SW Asia Minor in line for centuries) made so many of the things. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":angelic:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Ancient coins as a whole are not rare. I suspect the varieties we have either singly or by the thousands make up a large percentage of what once existed. Are these something you and I should include in our collections? Think about it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
