[QUOTE="COCollector, post: 2363183, member: 76108"]I enjoy my coins MUCH more when I have a better understanding of their backstories. With a coin/medal/etc that has a political figure, IMO there should be a LOT of leeway that [I][B]allows[/B][/I] political discussion. Let it stray into opinions -- and controversy. I want to hear it. Just keep it civil. Political significance is a big reason I've kept this medal 30+ years...

Point is, for me, a Nixon medal is a reminder of the late 60's and early 70's. No way to eliminate politics from a discussion of that era. Too much?[/QUOTE]
