    What gets me is that people will pay $2m for a 120 yo 10c coin, but you can buy a 2500 year old Athenean Owl for $500 to $5000 depending on condition.

    What gets me is that people will pay $2 mil USD for a coin. Period.


    It's.. a coin.

    A single coin.


    Odds are I'll never have that kind of wealth to be able to afford that in the 1st place, without batting an eye. But even if I did? Highly doubt I'd be dropping that kind of cash on a coin.

    Other things, yes. One coin, no.


    Really don't get it..
