I think you hit on a few key areas of collecting that impact a lot of people. Is the monetary value of art or a collectible an intrinsic or extrinsic property? Or, can beauty exist a priori, or is a set of perspectives or experiences needed to create it? In another way, is beauty intrinsic or extrinsic? You said it was extrinsic. Some would argue it's intrinsic, but that not everyone can always recognize it.
Here are a few other related questions I've asked:
- Why do (some) humans feel the need to own beauty, in addition to creating it?
- How is coin collecting similar or different from bird watching? They both involve lots of details, and numbers, but the latter is less material based.

Too long, did not read. Just kidding.  Very well done. You have earned some serious nerd cred.  |

You did a great job of explaining why people collect things but you did not answer the topic of your presentation, why you collect coins? That may be why you did not get a perfect score.

This was my presentation to my Theory of Knowledge class about collecting coins. TypeCoin, what grade level did you present this to? A very well thought out and visual presentation. |

Well done.
But its does remind of something that I once heard: to those who understand, no explanation is necessary. To those who do not understand, no explanation will be sufficient.
I have run into many, many of the latter kind. :-)

I couldn't explain my specific personal reasons for collecting coins due to the requirements of the presentation. But I got more general towards the end so my friends could relate from their own personal interests and see that I am not as different in my interests as they might think, or my interests are not as strange or irrational as they had previously thought. |

Still, you were able to do a lot in 10 minutes. Well done.
