Also &quot;ancients&quot; covers a very broad geographical and long period about 600BC to 1400AD so mint quality varied from culture to culture and time. Part of collecting ancients is finding <i>the</i> coin that meets your criteria for being collectable. Perhaps you&#039;re ok with a missing legend in exchange for a well struck bust or interesting reverse. Maybe you need coins that are centered extremely well. Oftentimes you&#039;ll also have to sacrifice something to get a coin, like poor centering because otherwise it would be out of your budget.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another reason, there was no collar like in modern minting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
