<p>[QUOTE="PamR, post: 24616526, member: 119754"]Very well said. I accidentally came into coins with my dad’s penny jars and misc coin jars. Some foreign and some are old but most of all as you state, it’s the beauty, the why and the who. The history of some of the foreign coins, which are not many, but all in my dad’s hands from that country. In circulation yes, but in that time span. </p><p>The art of coins and the designs as well are unique and original. I say this because it’s just that one person’s initial on that coin. A design that one’s ancestors designed. Sounds silly I guess but I look at a Lincoln in different ways I guess. Like our friend, [USER=94733]@Mountain Man[/USER] states, in so many words, the reasoning and history behind the coin. But I will note, our friend does not care for those Zincolns. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Thanks for posting this [USER=18487]@cwart[/USER] . People do collect for different reasons. To sell or trade etc. I look at it as, people have their reasons behind anything collects and sure, one may not find other’s collection or hobby interesting and vice versa but to that person, it means something. </p><p>So if one posts from a find, circulation, a purchase, etc… there is a reasoning of why. Some care to know and the ones that choose not to, well, their choice of course. Again, a reason behind each coin posted. Even if it’s one that posts, “hey how much is this worth?” Lol! That’s their reason. The pros tell them, it’s worth a penny! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
