[QUOTE="BenSi, post: 3934044, member: 95174"]I have always been a collector of things since I was young, my coin journey actually started with stamps. I had collected World stamps as a child then I became more specialized as I got older, ending up with a nice collection of Zeppelin covers and pioneer flights. While visiting my friend who owned a stamp and coin shop in Torrance California I saw and collected my first Ancient coins, all Roman Imperial, from there I found a copy of 1950's David Sear catalog at the local used book store. I was hooked. My collection of ancients has changed greatly through the years, starting with women on Roman coins and eventually ending up specializing in 12th century Eastern Roman coins ( Byzantine.) One thing I think everyone who collects ancient coins has in common, is a love of history. I think if you ran a poll most would agree except those of course who would go to the art side.[/QUOTE]
