This piece breaks down the appeal of collecting coins from the viewpoints of an amateur former collector, two currently active researchers and an expert from the British Museum all the while comparing and contrasting stories and coins while ultimately finding similar ground. The minds of collectors are examined to find out why they began collecting and what keeps them going. Placing you in the position of a numismatist.
