As a person who more easily relates to things by holding them, how else could I acquire a clearly recognizable piece of history? I was shocked to discover how varied and beautiful they are, and yet are remarkably affordable. Where else could I get a beautiful Greek artifact that was from before 300 BC for the cost of a tank of gas? Unfortunately, when I would show friends or family, all they would
see is an old coin because the historical significance of the coin was not readily apparent. For my own enjoyment, I first began writing and designing these sheets in order to bring the full story out for others to be able to enjoy as well. Additionally, by mounting the coins on pages in albums, I could aesthetically display them on bookshelves or coffee tables and enjoy them, instead of shoving them away a box in the closet. With Acquired History, I am striving to provide collectors, history buffs, students and anyone else fascinated with our past the ability to acquire their own pieces of history, along with the story behind them. http://www.ebay.com/usr/acquired.history
