<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 1345489, member: 25270&quot;]I&#039;ve always loved history and was a history major in college. I see coins as a little tangible bit of history that I can own, and that&#039;s what makes it exciting and is also why I&#039;m not as obsessed with the coin&#039;s condition as many collectors are. When I see a date, I think about what was going on in the world at that time: 1865 - Civil War; 1898 - Spanish-American War; 1939 - World War II; and so on. I know a lot about history, but my coin collection has taught me more. I never knew there was such a place as Sarawak until I saw a coin from there, and I have learned a lot about the cultures and colonial histories of many nations just from things like seeing that their coins are written in French, therefore they were probably a French colony. So the coin collecting really fuels my desire to learn more about the world.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
