<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Louie_Two_Bits, post: 543455, member: 17748&quot;]Wow, I&#039;m actually surprised that most aren&#039;t looking forward to this new series. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m not a numismatist, nor am I a grizzled coin collector whom gathers such fine pieces that they need to be locked away out of the light and air and cannot be admired at whim, nor am I such a completist that I need to acquire every variation imaginable in every mintage and currency...I&#039;m a fair weather hobbyist who collects some U.S. coins (indian-memorial cents, jefferson nickels, roosevelt dimes, statehood quarters, and sacagawea dollars by mintage), but I collect them because the coins either inspire me, or I get a charge out of owning a real piece of American history...it&#039;s fascinating to think that some of my coins may have traded hands amongst civil war soldiers, traded at trading posts by mountain men &amp; indians throughout the old west, used to purchase one of the first automobiles, hoarded during the great depression, etc.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think there are as many variations of types of collectors as there are coin variations. One thing I know for sure, this hobby is truly the hobby of kings, as you practically need to be as rich as one to afford it. But for me, the joy it brings, justifies the $$$$ spent (within reason of course). So for me be an admirer of nature, will hold this new series very dear.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>-LTB[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
