<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Plumbata, post: 3275499, member: 96864&quot;]Sure, there are almost always &quot;better&quot; coins floating around but collectors also take a keen interest in the process or &quot;theory&quot; behind a collector&#039;s collection, or the more personal idiosyncratic reasons an individual seeks the different items they seek which may awaken an appreciation in the reader that they didn&#039;t possess before. I can understand how some of the very rare and beautiful coins posted here seem intimidating and financially inaccessible (for now <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) but I like to see it as aspirational encouragement to keep learning, building my business and expanding access to quality sources. </p><p><br /></p><p>More important than the coins themselves is the knowledge, wisdom and encouragement shared and reciprocated by the community which enriches everyone individually as well as the hobby overall. Whether you&#039;re a newbie with less than 100.00 worth of crusty Late Roman bronzes or grizzled veteran with a big personal museum full of rarities we all at least have being collectors in common. Take the time when you can to share some of your collection and the reasons behind it, and you will probably be met with much more warmth and encouragement and insightful new ideas or perspectives than from the sum total of all your queries regarding authenticity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
