[QUOTE="BustCoinageDude, post: 1010347, member: 12004"]Med: Thanks for the warm invite. I only have a few Parthians. My main ancients emphasis is on greek classical and imperial rome. It is fascinating beyond belief. I am also glad that NGC, ICG, and ANACS are now grading and attributing ancients. I'm not sure about PCGS, haven't seen any ancients in their holders, but the three mentioned are doing a good job. I'm trying to collect Rome by Emperor, but its a daunting task, especially when the empire splits and one is faced with the decision of whether to include eastern emperors and transition to Byzantium. One mistake many new collectors make is thinking age equals rarity. They pay $50 for a widows mite from one of the approval "coin " services and think they've hit the motherload, only to discover they have a $5-$15 coin. Hopefully we can do a better service for the new collector with education.[/QUOTE]
