<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 661388, member: 6370&quot;]this is another reason here. On the whole, ancients dont bother with MS-whatever grading. So people dont hike prices hundreds of dollars because some TPG said its an MS65 instead of an MS64. Many dealers dont even use the more traditional grading system...you simply judge for yourself if the price fits the eye appeal, rarity, and quality.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>US and Russian coin prices are out of control because of what is to me, obvious reasons. I always marvel that someone might spend something like 200 USD for a penny that was pulled from circulation, still able to be spent...slabbed up, graded and that huge price justified in some way....while the Ancient Roman As I use as my picture....2000 years old almost, was not much more than that...to each his own I guess. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Dont worry, prices for ancients are and have been on the rise...it wont be long until you are paying 30 USD for some rough old LRB.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
