<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Get Real, post: 2512313, member: 81585&quot;]Unfriendly??? No! No worries! I have been in different forums over the years for different hobbies and its the same thing over and over again. These were the same typical responses that people give and get in other hobbies as well and it always seems like there are small attack dog groups in every one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Error coins is not really my thing and I would never buy one or be considered to be a &quot;collector&#039; of them. In my opinion and I mean no offense to anyone, is that most error coins are only worth what you can get a like minded individual to pay for it. I personally have no connection or passion for them with only one exception. I admittedly do review all of my coins for errors but that is only for monetary reasons.&nbsp; I see no reason not to capitalize on them for financial gain but for me that is where the interest stops. I posted about this dime in particular because I had never seen another like it and wanted other opinions on the How, When, Where and Why.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been collecting since I was a very young boy, back when silver in your change was a daily, guaranteed event. Silver Dollars, halves, Mercury Dimes and Buffalo Nickels where a very common occurrence, I really miss those days! I will never stop collecting as long as I still have breath in my lungs. My most loved coins are Silver Dollars, mostly Morgans and Peace Dollars but I love all things silver. I collect anything silver no matter the condition although as most people I prefer MS condition. I also collect a lot of Wheat Cents and some Memorials but I really only like the older ones. I started collecting for several reasons one of them being that I understood the difficulty of making a relief type coin early on. I really have a passion for the details of most coins so I collect mostly what catches my eye. For the past 30 years I have been traveling internationally for work so as you can imagine I have built a large assortment of foreign coins. I&#039;ve been collecting them for all this time just out of habit and my appreciation for them and now I find my self with a couple thousand foreign coins that I don&#039;t know what to do with. I also have a little paper money in my collection both international and domestic as well as some WWII Military notes that I have as conversational pieces.</p><p>Oh and my most embarrassing moment was one drunken night in a hotel far far away, I drunk called CSN and purchased a set of the &quot;50 States Quarters&quot;. Now I have a rather large box of unopened coins and only half maybe be worth a little while the others have been plated with gold and platinum, Yikes! I guess I will have to drag them out and review the non plated for errors but I&#039;m sure they were picked over before being sold.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good Luck to you as well, Happy hunting![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
