<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirispupis, post: 8305926, member: 118780&quot;]And for a different view of things, imagine that I went back in time and worked for 4 days as a soldier in Alexander the Great&#039;s army shortly before he died. Since the average wage was about 1 drachm per day, I receive this tetradrachm, which would have a relative worth today of $400 ($100 per day == $26k per year, which is the US poverty salary for a 4 person household).</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if I brought that tet back I might earn $1k-$2k for it if the condition were gVF, though an example like below would be below that. If I managed to get a newly minted one, perfectly centered, then paid for NGC certification, I may get $10k at the right auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, if I invested that tet with 1% interest, then came back to today, I&#039;d have about $6 trillion.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1469990[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless, one thing that continues to amaze me about ancient coins is that it&#039;s not difficult to buy one for not much more than they were worth back then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
