<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 1546083, member: 9204&quot;]I&#039;ve often wondered what draws me to collect a particular area. Of course I am interested in the history behind a coin, every ancient collector I know is interested. And, having taken one too many art history classes, I&#039;m interested in that aspect as well. From time to time one of these will win out and I&#039;ll buy a historical curiosity or artistic gem. </p><p><br /></p><p>But I&#039;ve come to realize that what I truly enjoy is knowing something that no one else knows. I love getting a coin that everyone else would be unsure of and date to an uncertain period or mint and, using specialized references or knowledge, being able to say precisely when and where the piece was struck. I love working with coins that no one else can handle. I love knowing what others do not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
