When I collected actively, I pursued philosophers, not emperors, thus my Marcus Aurelius sestertius. Going through bulk bags of foreigns, if I found a nazi coin, I threw it in the garbage. But I confess that I have a 1922 USSR Silver Ruble. So, we make our choices...</p><p><br /></p><p>As for Pres. John Kennedy, he has been going through something of a re-evaluation in the last couple of decades. Now, he is perceived more as a conservative than a liberal. His &quot;Berlin Wall&quot; speech, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and forming the Green Berets were his foreign policy. It is said that he advocated for a renewed US Treasury Silver Certificate to replace the FRN.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is highly ironic that the US Mint struck a $5 Gold Franklin Roosevelt commemorative.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]887755[/ATTACH]</p><p>Stater from Sinope c. 400 BCE attributable to Diogenes the Cynic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
