I collect moderns (1700 and above) and consider a coin rare if I can't afford it!
And that attitude is why we have phone zombies because some are unable to summon up the patience and have a need to find out what is happening...
First, yes, I'm almost 70, and yes, I read not one, but two newspapers because I like different viewpoints and get my news from different sources....
