<p>[QUOTE="panzerman, post: 2597433, member: 77704"]Morphos are pretty butterflies, I never collected that genus/just like with coins you have to be selective. Some of the morphos are really dimorphic meaning females and males are very different in colours/patterns/wing shape. Even with ancient coins 650BC to 1200AD you could blow 40 Billion US$ and still be far from complete. Many Roman coins esp. AV ones are in 6 figures, esp. in mint state quality. Ten years ago, I had one of the best swallowtail (Papilionidae) butterfly collections, most of my 12,000 specimens were AI quality=mint state in coins. I sold off 400K of them so far/ put $ into worldwide AV coinage. I still have 3/4 of my stuff to sell off, most will be in trade off vs mintstate Roman Aurei. Rest will be for a frame off restored 1967 Corvette 427/400HP/Powerglide/Factory Sidepipes!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
