<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 3055191, member: 72790"]Thanks for those thoughts. In my life of collecting, other artifacts in addition to coins, I have concluded that to collect items from some groups or individuals is, in a sense to perpetuate their memory, almost as though in approval of what they did as well as recognition of what they did. For that reason I steer clear of modern items. Believe me I am not any kind of paragon of individual virtue and i understand that the ancient and medieval world had a very different code of morality and ethics but still I had rather have in my collection coins and artifacts that memorialize the good that humans can do. Too bad the ancient Greeks did not mint coins with Apollonius or Hippocrates on them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
