<p>[QUOTE="ikes4ever, post: 345102, member: 6877"]coin collecting is still the hobby of king's in my opinion. not because of high prices of gold and silver but because of the mint. when I started out in the mid 80's the mint was not selling that much. a few annual sets and commeritives. now its out of control so many different kinds of packinging and sets. i like the state quarters and prez dollars and look forward to the 09 cents. but nowadays i am not buying from the mint. I am getting my coins at the banks and searching rolls. I still go to my local coin shop to pick up some older stuff. but the modern stuff is just too much. TPG services seem to be getting out of control too, everyones so greedy stickers on the slabs!!!. i am also amazed people buy coins online,too risky for me. It may still the hobby of kings but at least you will always have some money saved <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>thanks for the contest[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
