<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 453314, member: 13650&quot;]I am ancient-illiterate.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have the slightest understanding and wouldn&#039;t know what&#039;s what.&nbsp; But I have noticed that what I&#039;ve seen most of the time, prices seem pretty reasonable as in low.&nbsp; Why is this?&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Is it because there are a large number of known ancients around or just not as big of a market as for U.S. coins?&nbsp;&nbsp; I guess I don&#039;t understand why something that is &#039;ancient&#039;, especially a coin, wouldn&#039;t automatically command a price tag upwards of several hundred dollars.&nbsp; &nbsp; I&#039;m not complaining.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t mind getting a few myself.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure you can pay whatever you want depending on what you want to get.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Also, do ancients have their own grading scale? Does one exist?&nbsp;&nbsp; Typically how old does a coin have to be before it is considered ancient?&nbsp; And where do the majority of them come from?&nbsp; Does anybody try to keep a rough guess at a population report for any of them?&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
