A good example of this is the massive hoard of Owls that has been flooding the market recently. I bought one of these Owls last year for a fraction of the price the coin would have sold for 10 years ago &amp; felt no guilt about doing so. Not everyone has the luxury of buying rare coins with an established legal provenance. In regards to Koson Staters, these coins have been available in quantity for centuries &amp; offer collectors of modest means an opportunity to own a gold coin of historical importance for just a fraction of the cost of a Roman imperial denarius issued by Brutus.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
