But I also only collect coins with designs that appeal to me. If I don&#039;t like the design - I don&#039;t care how historical the coin is - I don&#039;t buy it. I also have a fondness for gold&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; but I collect silver coins as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>For over 40 yrs, I collected primarily US coinage with a focus on modern coins. But I have since switched to world coinage exclusively. I find the history and the designs much more appealing. I have coins that were used to pay a ransom for a king. Coins that were struck on the occasion of a nation&#039;s independence. And coins that helped establish the world&#039;s trade markets that we know even today. In other words - coins that had a direct and lasting influence on the world itself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
