<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 2389622, member: 77704&quot;]I think you hit it right there. AV coinages thru the ages were probably used by the Upper Middle Class merchants/artisans/thru-Nobility/Royalty/Religious Heads/Robber Barons etc. Many were hoarded/hidden away times of strife/put aside in coin collections...even back then. The Sforzas of Italian Renaissance era were famous coin collectors. If todays mints were churning out magnificent gold issues, instead of paper currency, I would probably set some aside for my collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
