<p>[QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 4309946, member: 51347"]I started collecting in the 60's. Mainly modern US due to accessibility, my younger age, and had not learned of Ancient History.

Even at my young age, I was drawn to the niches of coin collecting because of the history surrounding them. Hard Times Tokens, Civil War Tokens, emergency monies, Mils, etc. were interesting. As I moved into my teen and later years, I was exposed to more Ancient History, and became fascinated with the Ancient World and History. In my late 20's, I dumped a pretty extensive collection and moved on to collecting Ancients.
