<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2832429, member: 76086&quot;]Collecting antiquities has always been complimentary to collecting ancient coins (technically they are both the same).&nbsp; Much more so in the past, but less so in the last 15 years or so.&nbsp; I think this is due to the fact that people dont go to coin shows anymore but instead buy almost exclusively online.&nbsp; In the &#039;old days&#039; dealers had lots of antiquities to go along side their coins and most people collected both.&nbsp; But now coins shows are nearly dead and most collectors now are unaware of or have not been exposed to antiquities on a personal level.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Antiquities are really quite intriguing and in almost <i>all </i>cases provide a much more personal and intimate link to those who lived before us than coins do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I like both, and I suppose I have as many antiquities as coins, maybe more, I dont know, I never counted.&nbsp; I&#039;ve posted photos before, but they seem to grow.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]667917[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
