I used to be a commercial numismatist. I never understood why some collectors cared about stuff like this. Give me an honest, used coin that saw plenty of ciruclation and changed hands many times in the culture and society it once played a part in.

That’s why I enjoy ancient coins. No two are exactly alike—each one struck by someone’s hand. Each one a little time capsule. What was the last thing bought by this coin before it was lost or hidden/buried?
