[QUOTE="Hispanicus, post: 2744198, member: 72626"]Aethelred, Interesting question. I interact with select pieces of my collection about 4 or 5 times a week, generally after work with a beer in one hand and a magnifying glass in the other. This interaction is driven by the fact that I’m still in awe with our ability in this day and age to acquire an ancient coin with such relative ease and to actually hold it in your hands. [ATTACH=full]627067[/ATTACH] As soon as a purchase arrives in the mail it tends to live on a shelf with 3 or 4 other coins during a weighing, measuring, cataloging and general learning /attribution period, eventually getting put away with brethren.
