At the time I thought they were only available in museums or cost a fortune (of course, some do LOL)</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, that got me hooked on numismatics in all areas...BIG TIME!! And now I find anyones lack of passion for the hobby as mysterious and uncomprehending as many non-collectors find my unrelenting interest for all numismatics.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pieces of history, all with a story of their own---the closest thing to time travel that any of us will ever know. I always ponder who has held them and where they have been. It brings the period they were minted and circulated to life as few things can. And the eye-appeal, beauty and variety of so many coins leaves endless manners of ways to collect or specialize...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
