ABOUT ME

 I'm Aditya, an amateur coin collector and blogger. I really love coins and I value all my coins which I've got in my collection. I want to make it clear that all the posts that I post are about the coins which I have in my collection. The pictures that I post are taken by me. I'll never post about the coins I don't have. That's for sure. Please support my work by spending your valuable time in reading by blog and do comment and share. I think coins are little things which reminds one of the past. Some coins teach humanity about the mistakes that we have done in our past. Coins also provide a greater insight into history rather than those boring history books. Thank You.
