A coin that has been around hundreds of years will surely be around tomorrow so if you think you miss one opportunity another will appear. Unlike modern coins where we know most mintages and rarities all that could change as you pointed out when collecting ancients.

of ancient coins. His approach was to collect whatever was available. He explained that the ancient coin market is subject to considerable fluctuation. What is common and inexpensive today may be rare and pricey a year from now. In the short time I have been collecting British monarchs, I have found this to be true. When a dealer gets
in a large lot from a hord or an estate auction, she or he is going to want to move a lot of the coins quickly. This is a good time to buy.

This is why I don't estimate what the collection will cost me. I know I can' afford it. But also know, or rather suspect, that somewhere in the deep soil of England there is a hord of several thousand coins of King Harold Godwinson which were buried to keep them out of the hands of the advancing Norman army. One of those coins is destined for my collection.
