<p>[QUOTE=&quot;saltysam-1, post: 1693319, member: 23368&quot;]My Dad bought mint sets every year and gave them to us as Christmas presents. I continued to add to them on my own when I became an adult. But that was out of habit not desire. I thought if I were investing in them, I would do better in classic coinage. Since then I have pretty much stopped buying anything modern. I also became interested in paper currency, but like my coin collection, it&#039;s all U.S. and both are concentrated on early mint and BEP issues. Eye appeal is my number one priority. Once in a while I&#039;ll buy a non-U.S. piece because I like the balance and design of it or something unusual I read about it. I&#039;m trying to slowly sell off my newer mint collection and use the money towards the classics. Except for a few type pieces, pennies and nickels are very low on my priority and want lists. It&#039;s taken 50 years, since I became an adult, to achieve this direction to collecting. Change happens all the time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
