<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1320437, member: 26302&quot;]While we are disagreeing with you here MojaveDave, we are not disagreeing with your sentiments. TBH the number one question of non-ancient collectors is &quot;how do you know its real?&quot; Its the first I am always asked, and sometimes, &quot;its really hard to believe something like this is real, I think they are all reproductions&quot;, is heard as well. So your comment is a valid comment, and like many things is something that has to be overcome. </p><p><br /></p><p>Stepping back, it is freaking amazing we casually have at our fingertips the ability to buy authentic coins minted so long ago when almost any other type of artifact from teh same era is prohibitively expensive. The simple truth is coins last almost forever buried in the ground, especially if protected. Couple that with the fact they were buried on purpose many times for protection, and were minted in gigantic numbers, and you have the current situation where coins are about the only affordable artifact from 2000 years ago everyone can own if they wish.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just wanted you to know Dave that your thoughts are far from uncommon, but when shown and explained WHY they can survive when most other artifacts are gone, most people tend to accept it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
