<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2454439, member: 19463&quot;]We still have a number of people who don&#039;t find interest in minor details even as far as mints and reverse types in the case of those who consider any coin of a ruler the same as any other coin of that ruler for the purpose of their collection.&nbsp; I was once told by a dealer who thought he was smarter than everyone else that the only coins of Septimius worth owning were&nbsp; those from the Rome mint because those other mints were crude and ugly.&nbsp; I&#039;m even a little this way, for example, having a preference for Republican denarii that don&#039;t have a Roma head obverse and chariot reverse and Imperial types which have a reverse that is not &#039;someone standing there&#039;.&nbsp;&nbsp; If we are to be students of our coinage, we need to learn about metals we don&#039;t prefer, denominations larger or smaller than our choice and time periods before or after the one that interests us.&nbsp; If that is too much to ask, at least we might understand that there are others among us who favor these &quot;uninteresting and not worth mentioning&quot; coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
