<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1999084, member: 19463&quot;]I agree and point out that recently the market prices for barbarous coins seems to be keeping pace with the official.&nbsp; For both, it is a matter of condition and quality.&nbsp; Dirty, damaged and boring coins exist in both groups and are worth little while there are many people who really appreciate the charm of the barbarous imitations when they are found in pleasing style and preservation.&nbsp; Being barbarous does not, in itself, make a coin good or bad but is just one more factor to consider when deciding whether or not a coin is suitable for your individual collection.&nbsp; I do not recommend paying high prices for unofficial coins but I do not believe in writing them off as trash as is done in some circles.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
