<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4461855, member: 19463"]When someone from the modern coin hobby drops in on the ancient section and bemoans a hole in a 'coin' with thousands of easy to find replacements we are reminded that the market value of these NCLT rounds (hardly 'coins' until they are spent?) is more than the ancients that made up the rest of this thread and will require some effort to replace. My example is the least common of the Septimius Severus legionary series (LEG XXII PRI). True, there are fewer people who care about these in the world than there are customers for baseball glove rounds in most larger cities. True, there is as much 'melt value' left in a holed round as the 'fair market price' for many ancients certainly those with holes. True, I have been able to replace this holed coin with an upgrade but still there are things I, for one, can never understand.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1111895[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
