<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3230351, member: 84179&quot;]I love how numismatics questions - lead to history questions - lead to numismatic questions and on and on.&nbsp; I started collecting as a kid and as I got older I developed a passion for history.&nbsp; Can&#039;t say for certain, but I wonder how much of the history interest came from my collecting interest.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=94776]@CoinBlazer[/USER] In a previous post you asked about focused collecting interests.&nbsp; Maybe you can find your focus in historically interesting/significant coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I used to belong to local coin clubs (none in my current area now), I always brought in a coin with a historical story.&nbsp; If the mtg was slow, I would do a 5-10 min presentation on the coin.&nbsp; I always felt that coin clubs should provide some sort of educational component to the meetings.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back to your OP.&nbsp; Go down to the library and check out some books on the panic of 1893 and that period of history.&nbsp; If that bores you, then read about the panic of 1837 and maybe look for a cheap hard times token.&nbsp; The possibilities are endless[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
