<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 3150213, member: 83845&quot;]I disagree.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think interest would need to increase linearly with price for this to be legitimate because other factors would make up the difference.&nbsp; It&#039;s like saying that a $100 coin should have ten times more factors working in its favor that a $10 coin for them to be the same value / bargain.&nbsp; If the $100 coin only has nine times more going for it then the $10 coin wins as a better deal in bang-for-buck according to that voter&#039;s definitions.&nbsp; Beauty, interest enjoyment, learning opportunity all play a part.</p><p><br /></p><p>To be honest ANY reason is legitimate in my opinion though as long as there IS a thought out reason (including reason 2).&nbsp; The very thing that a voter might find interesting about an ancient coin is that there are authentic ones for an inexpensive price.&nbsp; A coin that costs hundreds / thousands of dollars might be an extra cool bargain to those of us who already know that budget coins exist but to someone who is just finding that out in the polls the ability to hold a 1000+ year old piece of history in their hands for a mere couple of dollars might be a bargain in a way that many of us collectors have lost the ability to appreciate.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even on the more expensive coins, those who have taken the time in their write up to justify why it&#039;s a bargain are faring better than those who did not.&nbsp; I think that is because it provides a reason for those of us voters who might have missed that aspect if it wasn&#039;t spelled out for them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
