<p>[QUOTE="GSDykes, post: 2200698, member: 73321"]Ancient market,</p><p>Are you advertising the coins here, in preparation for a future sale? I ask because I see lots of ancient coins (gold too) for sale on your site(s). Since I am not a coin dealer ( though I do sell a few coins) I stand outside their world, their world of ethics strikes me as very contrastive, but then that may be fodder for another forum. Right? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie82" alt=":shy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I mentioned coin collecting as being a great hobby for handicapped folks (like myself) as we often cannot move around so easily as "healthy" (or, "whole") types. Most of my collecting is done on-line, as I find it difficult to drive distances, and my wife is an amputee so she has no real love for driving. I can do much of my beloved hobby at HOME!! It is a hobby well suited for many handicapped folks!! Why do you find that offensive? I did not say the hobby was ONLY for the handicapped, your reading -- or English comprehension -- seems to handicap you, perhaps. I really enjoy the art seen on some coins, but to me there exists better forms of artistic expression, than a little hunk of tin, silver or gold. Nevertheless, I can still appreciate the beauty seen in the Caballitos of Mexico, or the work of Gilroy Roberts on the coinage of Liberia et cetera et cetera. Since you are newer here than I, perhaps you missed my many picture posts of beautiful coins, look around, before you speak. Sculpture and engraving to me is not the "Highest form of Art", which sounds like a hawkers come-on. Just feast on this beauty (below), and welcome to the forum, you will find lots of opinions and knowledge herein. Enjoy!!
