When did coin collecting start?
Could you elaborate on the origins of coin collecting? I'm particularly interested in understanding when this hobby first gained popularity and what factors might have contributed to its inception. Was it a natural extension of numismatics, the study of coins and currency? Or was it simply a byproduct of people's fascination with rare and valuable objects? I'd also appreciate any insights into the earliest documented instances of coin collecting and how it has evolved over the centuries to become what it is today. Thank you for your time and expertise in this matter.
