<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2655979, member: 19463&quot;]Thanks.&nbsp; That is &#039;my kind of coin&#039;.&nbsp; Trajan most certainly was a correct choice for Nerva and the message of the coin explains it well.&nbsp; Many coins can be appreciated for beauty or rarity but my favorites are those that have more than one level of meaning that can be appreciated only with a bit of understanding.&nbsp; This is one of the specialty interests that is really hard to put into words when a show dealer asks you what you collect: &quot;I want coins you don&#039;t understand why I would want them&quot; sounds pompous.&nbsp; Truth sometimes needs to be presented with more finesse.&nbsp; &quot;I want $10 coins with $20 footnotes leaves the impression, correct to a degree, that I am a cheapskate.&nbsp; Still, I have had dealers show me coins that they knew I would like and be correct.&nbsp; Some of those guys really <u>do</u> belong in the business and really <u>do</u> provide a level of service for which I am happy to pay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
