[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 2615427, member: 8959"]I was passionate about history from a very early age. While in boarding school in the U.K at age 14 I compiled a 45-page History of the Punic Wars. Hannibal and Scipio were my heroes. My mother travelled the world and would bring me back bags of coins from common currency from her travels, thus started my interest in numismatics. Funnily, I went onto to become a chemical/polymer engineer......but my love of history never abated. To me, numismatics is another form of history. I therefore collect those coins from eras in history which enthrall me the most: - [B]Imperial Roman[/B] coinage, specially 1st and 2.nd century. Primarily bronzes. - [B]Celtic Coinage[/B], specially those coins minted by the tribes who inhabited the central area of Germany, along the Rhine, where I live - [B]German coins,[/B] with focus on the Napoleonic era. - [B]U.S coinage[/B], yes, I have a passion for Colonial and early U.S coinage, specially large cents and capped bust dimes. - [B]Latin American[/B] Colonial and Early Republican coinage.
