[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 3607703, member: 26302"]I am not stuck on the pieces of metal. I appreciate art, but do not collect mainly for that reason. The reason I collect is to: 1. Have a connection with the past. Being able to hold something from very different eras of human history is appealing to me. 2. To force me to learn about history. I just made another post about one of the last tetradrachms ever made in Persia. I never thought about how weird it was for the Persians to make these coins, and what must have been happening when they finally wound down production for these people. This is a topic I most likely would not have researched much if not for this coin. :)[/QUOTE]
