[QUOTE="cwart, post: 24616392, member: 18487"]I’ve seen a few threads over time here at coin talk focused on what we don’t like about coin collecting. Let’s try the other side of the coin (yes, I did that…). what are the things you enjoy about the hobby? You list can be as long or as short as you like… I’m at lunch at work right now so I’ll start with a quick list, might post more later when I’m not here. I enjoy the connection to the past most coins bring. I’m not one who collects only the best and brightest, I like coins that have done some work too. Knowing the coin has passed through hand after hand is a wonderful thought to me. I also enjoy the art on the coin. From foreign to ancient to modern a lot can be learned about what’s important to a society from its coins. How that gets depicted is always an interesting experience. finally for now, I love the opportunity to learn that the hobby presents. That’s also why I keep coming back to coin talk. There’s so much information in books and here that it’s a learners dream. How about everyone else?[/QUOTE]
