<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2673519, member: 76194&quot;]If I were a U.S. coin collector, I&#039;d take a $20,000 coin because there are so few types of coins (U.S. coinage is young and there is little variety) that 1000 coins would be boringly repetitive. There&#039;s only so many samples of Kennedy halves, buffalo nickles, Washington quarters, and Lincoln cents that I could stomach.</p><p><br /></p><p>As an ancient collector, I would definitely take the 1,000 coins worth $20&nbsp; because each coin has the potential to be vastly different from each other (different rulers, reverses, denomination types, different empires, etc). There are literally thousands of different varieties of coins you can get for $20 each if you collect ancients. That&#039;s the difference between having 1,000 years and tons of political entities mining coins , vs. 1 country and 200+ years of minting coins with a history of sticking to the same exact types for decades without changing the designs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
