<p>[QUOTE="FitzNigel, post: 2669971, member: 74712"]Like everyone else, it is all about the history. I always had a fascination with the Middle Ages when I was young, but started getting into coin collecting when the States Quarters program started. eBay was just beginning to take off, and my love of the Robin Hood legends got me looking into finding a coin of Richard I (now I know there is no relation, but still don't regret the purchase as this has pushed me into my love of the Angevin kings of England). From there I got into ancients as well. My mother had some ancient coin jewelry, and I would often just look at it and wonder who had used the coins, and for what.</p><p><br /></p><p>Medieval is still my primary, but ancients are a close second (with the a US hoard on the side made up mostly of family donations, so I wouldn't feel right selling my US collection.
