<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1878317, member: 19463&quot;]&quot;For coins all over the price spectrum&quot; seems to mean over $1000.&nbsp; When a Mr. Kern is offering a Vitellius as his cheapest ancient coin, we obviously differ in definition.&nbsp; That is the point.&nbsp; I assumed when I read the OP request that he was looking for a $1 to $1000 dealer rather than a $1000 and up source.&nbsp; There is room for both in the hobby but we do need to know what the OP was requesting before we can help.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;If you are serious&quot;:&nbsp; I recall a few years ago when a dealer I knew defined a &#039;serious&#039; collector as one who spent $1000 a year on coins.&nbsp; Now there are quite a number of dealers who define that number as an entry level coin.&nbsp; It is quite possible to enjoy collecting coins without spending a $1000 on a coin.&nbsp; For that matter, you could say that about ancients and keep it under $100.&nbsp; Certainly that will not get you gold and large silvers but this list is largely populated with low end ancient collectors (with two major exceptions) who seem to enjoy small silvers and bronzes.&nbsp; I can not speak for those who specialize in modern coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
