<p>[QUOTE="nyhariel, post: 175597, member: 7114"]I`ll try to answer the main question: why ancient coins are so cheap for me - most of them I`ve bought on a collectors market close to my home in the center of my city. Belive me, 90% of my coins I`ve found in a big boxes (about 30-40 kg each) with thousands of coins. The price is about 0,30 - 1$ per coin, so I think it`s cheap. Till now I`ve found 40 coins of ancient Rome, several from Gupta Empire, some coins of ancient Greece, Antiochia, arabic coins of Central Asia. Somebody can tell I`ve bought some fakes - no! Most are original. However - in this way bought some golden coins (5 rubel with Nikolai II, tscherwonetz, 20 reichsmark with cesar Wilhelm II... but in the same price from the same box I can buy 1 aluminium pfennig of DDR or 1 dime with Roosevelt. What deas it mean? Are people too lazy to find a treasure in a box with junk? So, that`s the reason the ancient coins are very cheap for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
