<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SanClem, post: 2520568, member: 81964&quot;]Thank you. I don&#039;t have any photos, my coins are ugly ducklings compared to the impressive ones I&#039;ve seen posted here. When I got into ancients I decided (probably rebounding from my US coin MS-mania) that I only wanted coins that were actually used as coins. Worn coins tell stories. For example, I recently acquired a Pharos lighthouse not only because it&#039;s a 7 Wonder but also because of all the people who touched it some probably saw the actual lighthouse. Another example, the Nero Temple of Janus with the doors shut: some who held the coin may have learned from it (in the days before mass media) welcome news the Empire was at (comparative) peace. A coin as a direct link to the past adds an interesting dimension to coin collecting for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
