Some love tokens withstood the test of time and now, years later, they serve as a testament to a love that was - a romance of old. "...as a token of my love." --- That is...

Coin Collecting: The Hobby of Kings
I Collect Coins -- Good Idea or Bad Idea?

Doesn't it involve dealing with boring subjects and wasting hours and hours squinting through a Sherlock Holmes magnifying glass?

Coin Shows
Why Your Local Coin Show is Worth it

An average local coin show can have thirty to fifty merchants, many of whom do not have a retail shop. You'll be more likely to run into specialists who can help you build out your ...
