<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 209797, member: 6370&quot;]You made me choke with that..I was reading it as I took a sip...<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for the explanation Orc..I guess for you the fact that they were later than many to stop segregation does it for you, for others they draw the line at fascism, I guess some would find my Stalin birthday coin objectionable as he could be said to have been the cause of more deaths than Hitler.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Seems a highly personal line that people draw, myself, I haven&#039;t found that line yet. Its all history and destroying the coin will not erase it but showing it and explaining it might help explain the events and times. I find a lot of the coins I see posted are from time periods and from nations whose policies I would find objectionable (USSR, Colonialism, Slavery, etc..)...I think of my role as collector as a person who preserves history and when I post my coins on my site I post them with a history to explain the situation and the time good or bad...thats just me. I have found this thread interesting to see how people approach this...some like me have no line they draw, its all history...others simply dont collect certain coins from countries they have a problem with, others would like to destroy all evidence of certain times in history. </p><p>Just to clarify though, I collect ALL coins from ALL time periods and countries...not because I think its cool to have a Nazi, soviet, SA, or Spanish coin but because I think almost all coins have historical value. By owning a Stalin coin, it does not mean I though he was &#039;cool&#039; or that I agree with his actions...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
