 | Meet Vice President Michael Buras |
| My name is Mike Buras, and I have been dealing with ancient coins and artifacts for over 15 years. I am the owner of Artifact Man Ancient Coins, Ltd. Check out my vcoins.com stores opening soon. I am the vice president of the Crescent City Coin Club, a member of the American Numismatic Association, the Louisiana Numismatic Association, and have been teaching Ancient History and Advanced Placement U.S. Government in the New Orleans area for the past 7 years. I buy and sell ancient coins, modern world coins, U.S. coins, and ancient artifacts as a second profession. This allows me the opportunity to provide my students with hands-on knowledge of different ancient civilizations. When I finish teaching about each culture, I sell the coins and artifacts for the purpose of buying some from the next culture on my teaching agenda. However, I specialized in Greco-Roman Histories, so most of my items will come from those two cultures. Through years of experience and schooling, I have acquired a great bit of knowledge about ancient numismatics. |
 | My aspiration is to open a gallery or museum in this area. Since I'm one of the few ancient historians in the area, I feel it is necessary to share the joys of analyzing and collecting ancient things with everyone out here. I also collect gold, silver, and platinum United States bullion coins. I enjoy bringing the modern U.S. coins to my classes to compare them with the ancient ones. It is amazing to see how much each culture has borrowed coin making techniques, styles, and symbols over the past 2500 years. |

| Cent Redesigned The U.S. Mint is introducing new designs for the Lincoln cent in 2009. 2009 is the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth and the 100th anniversary of the Lincoln cent. Did you know that in 1909 when the Lincoln cent was introduced, it was controversial? It was the first time that someone who actually lived was depicted as Liberty, the required device on the obverse of all United States coinage. |
