why coins?

Post by JNOD » Thu Nov 14, 2019 8:46 am

A friend asked me why I was interested in coins recently. I was sort of pleased with my answer:

1. I find them beautiful....
2. It's interesting to hunt for rarities
3. They have a way of making time tangible. I have a little bolus of highish grade pennies that run through the Boer war and that's about how I think about them. In their historical context.

Other thoughts out there?

Ya JNOD, you have it right, most all of my collection is circulated coins and bank notes, interesting to think who might have used it to purchase what!!!!

because you never stop to learn about history, production, because you make new friends
