<p>[QUOTE="JayAg47, post: 8068385, member: 112342"]Whenever I hold a coin from my ancient collection, I just feel a part of history that was lost forever except for the chunk of metal that I’m holding, the thoughts of people that used them lost in time, the empires that rose and fell, from the mighty Roman to puny city states. I just feel like I'm owning a coin that was once someone else's, which was again once somebody's, and it'll hopefully be owned by someone else after me. Knowing that our lives would be an insignificant blip after a couple generations. I'm just a temporary care taker for that coin. Makes me wonder about the priorities in my life and why I'm even collecting material things like coins just to satisfy my wish!</p><p>I guess enjoy and appreciate the moments whenever we can!</p><p>Here’s a coin of someone who left a legacy one can only dream! [ATTACH=full]1398905[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>*Sigh* just had a rough day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
