<p>[QUOTE="TexAg, post: 3353139, member: 86167"]Good topic. In my own case, I collect coins for the historical & numismatic value. Plus, I have this obsessive desire to complete "sets". I don't shy away nor am I attracted to coins based on politics or if I personally like the person depicted on the coin. Case in point is I am only one coin away from completing a full P&D album of Presidential Dollars, all found CRH. I guess if I let politics enter into the picture I wouldn't want a full Presidential Dollar album, lol. Ironically, the lone missing coin is the Philadelphia Richard Nixon (talk about a controversial president!). The other example is a 1937 German 2 Reichsmark (see photos). The obverse has the German Eagle perched on top of a wreath encircling the swastika. While the meaning of that symbol revulses me, I can appreciate the coin for its historical value and silver content. Therefore, it has a home in my Foreign Coin Album. It also has Paul Von Hindenburg on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]887696[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]887697[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
