<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirispupis, post: 7976233, member: 118780&quot;]Since this is a spirited topic in which we can post our own honest opinions without getting into a tit for tat, here are a few more:</p><p><br /></p><p>Poor coins at high-end auctions often go for too much because the clientele is too used to high prices. That being said, nice coins sometimes go for too much at lower-end auctions because the buyers aren&#039;t familiar with the market for such coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin catalogs are overrated unless you&#039;re extremely specialized. Between Academia and JStor, there are a huge number of papers that provide far more detailed information than many of the guides. ACSearch, CoinArchives, Pella, Numista, and Whirlwinds can affirm whether a reference number is correct.</p><p><br /></p><p>Roman imperial denarii/ants are boring. It&#039;s just emperor after emperor, empress after empress. On some of them the engravers didn&#039;t even know what the person looked like, so they just guessed.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you collect ancient coins as an investment, then you shouldn&#039;t really be collecting ancient coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
