<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Billy Kingsley, post: 713717, member: 19456&quot;]I can&#039;t vote...I do collect them! Not to the levels of some people on here (I&#039;m looking at you Ardatirion! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> SA/SM and Stainless have me beat in the field, as well as several others who have not posted in this thread. )</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m new to ALL coin collecting, only starting in May of 2008. Still plenty to learn, and I know I will never know everything about any subject. I&#039;m willing to accept that. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I don&#039;t know hardly anything about them and I am a little concerned about fakes, but I would rather risk getting some of those then missing out on the field entirely. There are people who post, both here and on FORVM, and I&#039;m blown away by what they know. I started collecting coins and currency because of my love of history, but dang, I know nothing at all compared to some of these people!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I saw some ancient Greek coins in silver and gold at CoinFest. I...find it hard to fathom that they are not in musuems next to scuptures and murals as small pieces of art!!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>To those who say they are not round, have you ever seen a US or other modern coin that was broadstuck? Or even multiple-stuck? How about a clipped planchet? None of them are round either, and they weren&#039;t even made one at a time, by hand! And yet, they usually cost more...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here&#039;s a washed out pic of my newest Ancient, already been posted but here it is anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
