If that's the case - then don't buy them and stop worrying about the rest of us. If you enter a discussion with a closed mind then you have nothing to learn. I really don't care to convince you that you should collect American Coins and while you may love ancients, they are not everyone's cup of tea. You should consider yourself lucky.
