I dont think most US coin collectors are uninformed...I know its unthinkable but it might be that they simply dont care about the same things you do...they like what they like...and I certainly dont think Americans are ignorant in history and politics...no more than any other nation of people...</p><p> </p><p>You had it right in the first place...Its personal taste...they like what they like...and they dont like ancients, or they just dont want to collect them...anyone who collects knows that there are some god awful ancients...ancient doesnt mean better...in fact the ancients probably take the cake for churning out some of the most cheap and unattractive coins ever minted. Give me a German, HRE coin from the 16th - 19th century or most older american coins over a ratty constantine (and clan) any day <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
