<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 965828, member: 26302&quot;]Doug had a post earlier that reminded me of this question. Has anyone ever read who would be a candidate for the first numismatist. By that I mean someone who doesn&#039;t collects coins just as curios, but to study, conserve, and spread knowledge of them. I have never seen a good story about this I can recall. I have read a lot of the numismatic movement related to the renaissance, but do not know if this is the oldest. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know Augustus &quot;collected&quot; coins as curiousities and appreciated the artwork of Greek coins, but I wouldn&#039;t classify him as a numismatist.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
