<p>[QUOTE="Tejas, post: 4002286, member: 84905"]I think the rise prices for high quality ancient coins is not really due to superior style or aesthetics, but to scarcity. While modern coins can be rolled out in any number to satisfy demand, the supply of ancient coins is limited to whatever has come onto us. Another genuine Nero denarius will never be made. At the same time, the number of collectors is likely increasing, as more and more poor countries see their average incomes rising. E.g. prices for Russian coins from the 14th to 18th centuries have risen sharply in the past 30 years or so with the opening up of a Russian coin collectors' market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
