<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 1744730, member: 18320&quot;]Your Ancient trove reminds me of the true depth and breadth of this hobby. I own almost nothing (in coinage) older than 200 years...and have neither the time nor discipline to focus on any particular place or era. I salute your success in that pursuit.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I got into this hobby accidentally, by looking for silver in bowls, boxes and bags of misc. coinage at flea markets and antique stores. I&#039;m sure many of you know the progression that must naturally follow, if one has eyes and any appreciation for small art..</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, aside from the few nice (to me) examples I&#039;ve shared here on CT, there are maybe ten pounds of what must be junk. I&#039;m gonna go thru it, one of these fine days, and donate that dross to young folks, as seed for future growth.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Like most seed, some will sprout, and some won&#039;t.&nbsp; No matter...the weight will be in the pocket of others, not mine!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for posting those old lead coins...sweet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
