Through out our lives my wife and I have always loved the study of History.It is fascinating to see how history does in fact continually repeat itself. As nations develop, they all seem to go through stages of economic growth, and then decline. Countries are generally formed out of some desperate need for personal and economic freedom, and then decline as those freedoms are reduced by governments through socialism and over taxation.At many times through out history, growing empires were destroyed simply by the greed of larger empires to expand territory, but in the end, even the larger seemingly indestructible empires destroy themselves internally. To my wife and I the collecting of great coins is a way to study history and look at the lives of humans long passed on. The lives of these peoples were as important to them as ours are precious to us today. Our favorite times in history are Early American, Medieval Europe, and Ancient history. Having built a passable Bust half dollar collection we have moved onto the gathering certified coins produced in the ancient world. At one time many years ago NGC did not certify Ancient coins so a great many of our coins are in Anacs and ICG slabs, but we are now buying coins certified by NGC and we will posting those as acquired In addition we also have a Museum site some of you might be interested in at http://www.youngmuseum.com/
