<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Poetheraven1, post: 1680181, member: 27225&quot;]Hi ya Ancientnoob.&nbsp; I&#039;m not a fan of ebay, as I find that most things offered there are way overpriced, and there are those that will bid any amount just to not lose the bid... To them its a contest to see who can get it, not how much it costs.&nbsp; I also stay away from craig&#039;s list because I want to wake up alive in the morning, and my wife of 52 years would frown on my bidding on a massage...lol.&nbsp; I was thinking of making something out of them, but then I don&#039;t want to damage any coins, and really get upset when I find ones that have been defaced, or have holes (shot or drilled) in them.&nbsp; Its really funny though, I&#039;ve got so many collected coins, that it would probably take me years to go back and admire each of them.&nbsp; I find the excitement is in finding coins that I don&#039;t already have, and wondering what the people were like, what they were doing, and how they lived when the coins were minted.&nbsp; You never know who might have touched a coin you find.&nbsp; For the most part, I think my question was rhetorical, because I don&#039;t want to put my duplicates back into circulation where I might wind up buying a lot I&#039;ve already seen.&nbsp; That&#039;s for a time when I no longer am able to collect coins, or for my son to do when he inherits my coins...not much value, but lots of weight.&nbsp; I&#039;m beginning to run out of space to keep the things I collect...good thing I have an extra room devoted to my collections, and a computer to keep track of my inventory.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
