<p>[QUOTE="PlanoSteve, post: 4962837, member: 91609"]As usual, I am enthralled by the lucid, educational, dedicated, thoughtful responses of our many & varied collectors posting here (& of course, the many other forums, but particularly "Ancients"). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie83" alt=":singing:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie83" alt=":singing:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie83" alt=":singing:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie83" alt=":singing:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie83" alt=":singing:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And I have always found it interesting, given the finite number of coins available, that there are so many variations in how collections are assembled. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>For my part, while I mostly live vicariously through our members posts, it is a thrill to hold (read: "fondle") a coin from the ancient past, imagining the possible "life" it has led. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In my collecting, while I appreciate a good "history" story, & and coins related to that era, I don't marry the 2 together.
