<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ignoramus Maximus, post: 8194845, member: 104741&quot;]A generalist like me would usually prefer nice common specimens over one decrepit rarity. For a specialist things may well be different.</p><p><br /></p><p>One point: if you spend a lot on a (decrepit) rarity, there&#039;s always the chance that a new hoard may turn your princess into a common, decrepit frog. Owls and Pantikapaion bronzes come to mind as examples (although they never were really rare rarities to begin with, I believe). Common coins, on the other hand, never turn rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>This one I got cheap after they were found in numbers. If I had started collecting before they were found, chances are I would have spent many times the amount I did on a poor example, or I wouldn&#039;t have one at all.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1435349[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
