Grade Inflation Of Ancient Coins Over The Years.

I absolutely agree with the idea that an ancient coin has to have it's own picture.
It would be counter productive to the sale of the coin to do otherwise.

Obviously a bartender is best if they don't drink, a car dealer should not drive a fancy car, casino dealers should not play the games, the list goes on and on in life that mixing business with a hobby is not good for business. There are plenty of collectors in ancients who deal coins, but they love the coins so well they know if they got in a large low priced lot a coin for $3 and it is worth $60, they will list it at a $40 reserve and wait forever for the person to appreciate the coin as much as they did. A dealer who does not collect just collects knowledge like the New York diamond merchants who never wear diamonds. I remember a Bulgarian man wrote to me and said I was wrong to start all coins at $1 that are worth a lot more as I "cheapen the coin like treating a beautiful woman like a tramp". (I sincerely hope that sounds better in Bulgarian then the translation sounded when I read the message.) But to me only waiting for a a 400% profit for a sale just seems totally not right to do so I follow the old saying of not mixing business with pleasure and collect nothing which allows these coins to trade as any other commodity based on supply and demand. Much easier to be successful if you don't collect in my opinion and common practice for any other industry of traded goods.
