[QUOTE="coleguy, post: 287652, member: 9167"]Huh...and all this time I thought I was collecting world coins. Since when did the US declare independence from the world? Must have been when I was on vacation. US coins are just as significant as any other coin from any other era. They all were a part of a world history that is still in the making. As fascinating as a 2000 year old Greek or Roman coin may be, and yes, I do own a few only because they were given to me, they have very little historical validity to me as an individual. I'm not Greek or Roman, or Bisintine...I'm American. I appreciate ancient history, as you cannot begin to understand US history without a general understanding of the history of Europe and Asian. So, if I were to find some Chinese coin forum and ask them why they don't collect US coins...why they only collect Chinese coins from the last 8000 years, it would be just as rediculous as coming to a US coin forum and belittling those that collect US coins.
