[QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 4666158, member: 51347"]Thank you... as I see it from your search finding, approx 18% of total Ancient Coins are perhaps "Hard / Harder to Get". That really pleasantly surprises me too for its relative accuracy. My thoughts are: - There were MANY Entities that has gone extinct - Many coins that were melted down or overstruck out of existence - The pure passage of time of anywhere from 1500 to 2500 years. - Coins are truly lost (dropped, destroyed, etc.) HOWEVER, there would always be a coin or two saved, squirreled away, set aside, etc. that would contribute to a coin type being "found" and that would be a rarity. This would be coupled with the fact that SO many VARIETIES of coins were minted over SO many Entities and SO many years of producing coins. Very nice. Thanks, [USER=44357]@AncientJoe[/USER] for getting the thoughts flowing...[/QUOTE]
