There's one dealer I often see at shows who, in addition to higher quality coins, has several junk bins with more common Roman and Arabic pieces for just a dollar or two each. I bought several coins from him when I was a kid. Edited by Numisma 02/23/2016 6:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Just think, T-BOP, two thousand years from now collectors will be asking: Why are State Quarters so inexpensive when some are over 2,000 years old?

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5241 Posts	Posted 03/06/2016 02:16 am The desire to collect is a powerful instinct. It is not so much insanity as human nature. Most people collect something of one sort or the other, and the same ideas apply: Subtle differences to the untrained eye can make huge differences in value to the trained eye. There is no particular reason to state that it is better to collect types vs. by date/ mint or any other way. What you collect is a matter of taste, preference, or availability within your budget.
