<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dadams, post: 2606396, member: 82194&quot;]Thank you all for the replies and likes.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=84116]@ROBERT THOMASON[/USER], [USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER], and [USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER]</p><p>Indeed it is the history of the individual coins I like and they have spawned in me a desire to learn more about the subjects portrayed, the politics involved, and the history of the times in which they were created.&nbsp; I can vaguely recall learning bits and pieces of Roman history in my early school years and have traveled to many places throughout the world, but I&#039;ve never experienced the desire to learn as much as I do now. I studied and learned as much as I could about the US coins I was collecting but I never really got excited.&nbsp; Sure, I loved snagging that beautiful seated liberty quarter for my collection, at the first of the year, but honestly it doesn&#039;t do much for me day after day- I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve even looked at it since the week after it arrived. It seems there is something magical in an ancient Roman or Greek coin that transmutes history into the here and now for me. I can&#039;t seem to get enough!</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=56859]@TIF[/USER] , I&#039;m with [USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER] on this one. I doubt i&#039;d be even a fly speck on your radar screen.&nbsp; I do admit that many of your coins and those of the all the other posters here are inspiring.&nbsp; I may not make many comments in threads, but I am paying attention!</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=81808]@Aethelred[/USER] - You&#039;re partially responsible for this conversion, Sir!</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER], I was running behind somewhat and it could be one of my 11-16 might have pushed its way into the top 10.&nbsp; I wanted to make sure I got my list up before time expired.&nbsp; When I get a chance I&#039;d be happy to show them.&nbsp; I like the diversity here and it is why I read every thread posted here in this forum- I like all the coins in every thread, just some better than others.&nbsp; ALSO, I want to personally thank you for the information on your website pages as they have been <i>immensely</i> helpful to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
