<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GregH, post: 2333264, member: 75936&quot;]From reading this forum, I&#039;ve noticed there are numismatists - people who study coins, and take a scholarly interest in the hobby. And there are people who simply collect what matches their interests, without taking a huge interest in numismatics.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m a mere collector - I have an interest in history and coins, but not so much numismatics. I buy what is visually appealing, or a coin of historical importance, or simply a coin that fills a hole in my collection. I don&#039;t have a particular fascination that certain offinciae produced a particular type.</p><p><br /></p><p>I care about style - but unless I&#039;d read the detailed and interesting posts of CT members - I wouldn&#039;t know, for example, that in the Agrippa/Augustus crocodile series, Augustus is bare headed on the earliest issues, and laureate in the rest. CT has made me more knowledgeable of things that I would not otherwise have taken the time to research.</p><p><br /></p><p>So what are you - a numismatist or a collector?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
