<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2362994, member: 19463&quot;]Ancients are not a good hobby for people who think of what their coins are worth and how they will become rich owning them.&nbsp; Modern collectors have a &#039;Red Book&#039; to tell them which coins are &#039;worth&#039; a lot but there are many opinions on ancients and selling an extreme rarity can be difficult because you have to find someone who wants it and several people if you want to see a bidding war that will drive up the price.&nbsp; </p><p>Most &#039;serious&#039; collectors have at least one coin that is not offered in the market more than once a generation.&nbsp; When I finish with mine, I may give them to someone who cares rather than selling them in a market that does not.&nbsp; Some of these are the only survivor and demand is limited to a few people who know it exists and cares.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Expensive ancients tend to be nice specimens of relatively common coins that many people know and want.&nbsp; Rarity is not a feature in this case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
