[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 896296, member: 17557"]Love the response my man. (The token ain't too bad either.) Now, I have to agree 100% of what you are saying, in H.S., kids learn about U.S. history, and modern Geography, Culture, and Economics, rarely does the subject of Ancient Rome come up. I think location comes in to play though, when it comes to knowledge of Ancient Civilizations, the rulers, and the coinage. So it might be harder for a kid in Greece to collect Morgan Dollars, versus coins that date back way in the day. A point that has already been brought up in this thread. :) But, in U.S. coinage it can be the same way, many collectors don't just go by the little $3 folders you can get at Hobby Lobby or a Coin Shop made by Whitman, a lot of people are loose cannon collectors, who don't like to play by the rules, they by whatever they feel like, and staying in their own budget, they define their sets by key coins that they can put other coins around. Love that first one![/QUOTE]
