<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2473534, member: 26302&quot;]Yes, I go back and reread this every few years. This, along with Frank Robinson&#039;s book on coin collecting, is some of my most enjoyable numismatic reading. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>OP, there are so many different types of ancient coins, that there are simply TONS of scarce and rare coins you can own if you research and pay attention. I spent almost a decade finding one particular one I wanted, and people only call it &quot;scarce&quot;. If you are the only one who wants the coin, you can get a rare coin cheap in ancients. However, if two of you really want it, it can send the price through the roof. A friend collects Thasos bronzes, (maybe the most complete in the world), and when one he did not have came for sale he HAD to have it. Unfortunately someone else HAD to have it, and he had to pay $600 for a little off centered bronze I would not have picked out of a $20 pick bin. So rarity cuts both ways.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
