<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1429712, member: 19463&quot;]Technically this thread was started to show the nicest ancients and some of us showed our favorites.&nbsp; Then someone said that ancients were trash compared to modern coins and started posting examples of what that person considered proof that modern coins are better.&nbsp; When a thread gets hijacked, it should just be put to rest but instead we (myself included) posted back and forth until we can&#039;t recall what the thread was in the first place.&nbsp; The question on whether Greek chariots or modern basketballs are finer art is not one we will solve here.&nbsp; I do wish folks would post a new thought on a new thread rather than diverting one started by someone else but I&#039;m sure I&#039;ve done this several times as well.&nbsp;&nbsp; Certainly ancient coins include some of the worst produced and most crude issues even conceived as well as the ones that the OP and the rest of us that like ancients admire so much.&nbsp; Perhaps we who like ancients would be better off posting how bad they are in the hope no one else will compete with us for our treasures?&nbsp; Collect what you like.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
