<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 5137, member: 487&quot;]The challenges are what draw me into this. While I spend a great amount of time on American coinage and the process of making them, I need a new personal challenge. </p><p>Since most of these coins seem to be relatively cheap in cost, it seems to be a fascinating way to learn about the earliest forms of coinage. Like I said in an earlier post, I see dealers selling these coins all over the country. Most of the early pieces were struck by hand, and no two seem to be exactly alike. It kind of reminds me of the very early colonial pieces made here in the states. Many of these were struck over foriegn coins, other colony coins, and various size planchets that were milled down by hand afterwards. </p><p>This early process seems so intriguing to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
