<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1629613, member: 19463&quot;]If I were to make a distinction rather than World/Ancient, I&#039;d prefer coins made to be spent separated from coins made to sell to collectors.&nbsp; I realize the need for a separate US section and I could even get into learning about US coins that we made to be spent.&nbsp; My personal tastes don&#039;t allow as &#039;coins&#039; things that carry a denomination mark and are sold by the government for 100 times that amount (I can accept $2.10 for a 91 cent proof set but commemoratives and bullion weighing 5 ounces don&#039;t need to say &#039;quarter dollar&#039; on them). </p><p><br /></p><p>That said, it is not my place to expect Coin Talk management to customize the software to fit my individual whims.&nbsp; I&#039;d sure that the original concept did not even consider ancients.&nbsp; I&#039;m glad they let us tag along and assist modern collectors wishing to branch out a bit.&nbsp; There are a couple &#039;ancients only&#039; venues but many beginners will never find them.&nbsp; It is good to have a place to be different and help others realize that there are options like ancients, tokens or anything that aids commerce.&nbsp; I&#039;m not quite ready for opening our hearts to collectors of old credit cards or deposit slips (they exist).&nbsp; I&#039;m liberal but not THAT liberal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
