Why and What We Collect--A Tale of Two Barung

Yep, coins too for me.

In fact that was probably my first collection when I was only a little kid, maybe 4 years old, certainly before I went to school.

In later years I built a pretty decent collection of Indian hand struck coins, and a good collection of Indonesian currency from the time Indonesia became an independent nation.

Haven't added much in recent years, principally because of the cost and rarity of the hand strucks.

Would I buy a defective hand struck coin?

No, probably not, reason being that I don't know much about these, I'm not a dedicated collector of coins, and I'm not all that keen on learning much about them. They're just something I like.
