<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2545313, member: 19463&quot;]We all have different ways of collecting and definitions of what is of interest.&nbsp; Perhaps someday CT software will be able to read our minds and suggest threads from other sections that would be of interest and flag things posted in one place that might be out of place.&nbsp; My personal opinion is that I am interested in coins that were made to be circulated as money and not those that were made to be collected.&nbsp; As well, coins for me should be made with more hand work than machines.&nbsp; I make exceptions allowing the restoration coins of Trajan which were more a commemorative than a circulation group and the Russian wire money that used mechanically duplicated dies.&nbsp; I probably ignore other gray area coins not knowing their full story. </p><p><br /></p><p>The above means there would be coins on world posts that I would find interesting but I have to sort them out from the coins made special by their date and condition more than the part they played in history.&nbsp; I still am glad that we got the separate section although I probably would have made the title Ancient/Medieval.&nbsp; I know there are people out there that consider the coins struck the year I was born to be &#039;ancient&#039; but that is &#039;their&#039; opinion and they can have it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
