[QUOTE="BR549, post: 969697, member: 7110"]1) Do you actively collect coins and/or currency? 99% US coins, but I do have some cool currency. 2) What is your favorite coin design and why? Has to be the Walking Liberty half dollar. The design speaks volumes of United States pride and a significant placement as a world leader. The grades are very distinguishable with proven diagnostics acceptable in the hobby. 3) What is your favorite money-related reference material? I teethed on the Red Book, my Dad had a dog eared copy from 1955, I buy new issues about every 3 years or so. 4) Do you buy with expectations of realizing a profit on your collection? Never, I collect what I like. I know they have value, but the value is only what someone else will pay to have my coin at any given time. 5) What is the best advice that you can give to a new collector? The internet has volumes of information about coins from grading to buying. Old school collectors learned via hard knocks, use this modern tool to it's full potential. Happy Collecting[/QUOTE]
