<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2844010, member: 19463"]Yes, but that is the whole idea of collecting rather than just buying as I see it. We each will be presented with choices and we each will decide which coins speak to us individually. What I like will bore someone else and what they like will bore me. That's OK. It is not necessary that we all fight over the same coins. I most certainly did leave others that could have been the favorites of others simply because I was not aware that they were a rare date combination (these are boring to me in most cases) or high grade (its boring to me if the best thing a coin has is its grade). We are all different. </p><p><br /></p><p>I'll add one more. It is a Provincial from Damascus (not the most common city) of Philip I (ho-hum), with left facing bust (better), weakly struck (yawn), off center (sad) and showing the rare two legged ram (take that you three legged buffalo fans). The ram is what made it qualify for my $35 (same show - they must have had a price fix). </p><p>[ATTACH=full]673611[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
