[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 17497, member: 112"]I'd say you're gonna be busy Michael - and possibly very much in need of funds :D But on a serious note, that's one thing I miss about collecting US coinage - the ability to purchase books on the subject I wish to study. Rather I should say - the ability to purchase them and READ them. For the vast majority of the books I wish to study are all either written in French, Dutch, German or Spanish. And I don't speak or read any of them :eek: Luckily, I have studied Latin to a limited degree and I can often muddle through enough in two of those languages to be able to get the gist of what is written. But just barely :rolleyes: Lord what a joy it would be if they would only translate those books :([/QUOTE]
