<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 3277585, member: 51347&quot;]Thank you for your kind comments [USER=93702]@Clavdivs[/USER]&nbsp; .&nbsp; I have really enjoyed your posts over the last year, as you seem to approach the hobby like I do.&nbsp; I appreciate that many people enjoy coins for their numismatic reasons.&nbsp; I just enjoy taking a different tack in the hobby.&nbsp; Like you, I appreciate the Historical perspective.&nbsp; Humans created coins to facilitate their need for trade.&nbsp; And, they used those coins as tools to advertise, communicate, make a statement, etc.&nbsp; They become a record that are placemarkers in time.&nbsp; Sometimes, times were &quot;boring&quot; with nothing going on except peace and prosperity.&nbsp; Sometimes there were turbulent times with the coins recording those good or bad events.&nbsp; To me, it is fun to capture any of those historical events.&nbsp; I found that there were some amazing Human events with the emerging Egyptians, however Humans had not invented coinage yet.&nbsp; I discovered that Scarabs, which were used in everyday lives as jewelry, were similar placemarkers in History.&nbsp; I chose to capture some of the Royal Scarabs that recorded their Pharaohs and Royal families.</p><p><br /></p><p>Enjoy your Hobby!&nbsp; I am honored that you called me out... I hope we can reverberate off each others&#039; collections, and inspire ourselves to chase our passions of History!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]865755[/ATTACH]</p><p>India- Shakya Janapada AR 5-Shana 6th-5th C BCE Buddha Ref-Hiramo-I-8-29 RARE 19 known</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]865752[/ATTACH]</p><p>Akkadian 2350-2200 BCE Cylinder&nbsp; Seal&nbsp; Buff stone scene hero wresting antelope&nbsp; winged lion Ex J Tabot&nbsp; collection</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]865753[/ATTACH]</p><p>Egypt 21st Dynasty Scarab 16x11mm Pharoah Neterkheperre 986-967 BCE ex DeVries collection George Fraser pg 41 #329 Plate XII</p><p><br /></p><p>Good Luck!</p><p>Brian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
