<p>[QUOTE="jamesicus, post: 3337756, member: 14873"]Those sentiments resonate particularly well with me. I am not well versed in psychology and seldom indulge in self-analysis, but I think the main attraction for me in actually owning the coins I do is so that I can hold them in my hands and contemplate them whenever I read a book, or conduct research, or watch a movie relating to the historical events associated with those coins - I then feel an almost mystical connection - “I feel the vibes” as they say these days. The following may be heresy to some here, but I have only minimal interest in the appearance and condition of my coins (although I do like them to be reasonably well centered with complete and legible inscriptions) - or how they were made - the only thing in this regard that specifically interests me is the inscriptional lettering because of my love of Calligraphy. Fortunately there is room for all our diverse interests in this hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
