Often people who are new to coins believe that anything actually that old has to look like trash while the fact remains that there are many ancient coins that are as perfect as the day they were made.&nbsp; The other common misconception is that ancient coins are necessarily rare and expensive to the point that only the rich and museums can have them.&nbsp; The things were made by millions and millions.&nbsp; Millions survive.&nbsp; A small percentage are perfect.&nbsp; This coin is far from perfect.&nbsp; I would like to know how many examples of this coin (or any other common type) still exists.&nbsp; I suspect it is well over a thousand but far under a million.&nbsp; That is a huge span.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
