[QUOTE="Harryj, post: 398022, member: 14623"]As far a being a force, definately no. I really could care less about coins (besides going to the coin shop with Dad on weekends in the 70's) until after my dad died and I inherited his collection in 2003. As the months passed I began to look at the coins more often. I soon realized that besides photo's the only tangible items I had to remember him were his coins. For the past four years, I have been finishing dads collections and have spent way too much money on coins. There are not as many young people interested in coins these days, most would rather watch video games or MTV. As much as my wife dislikes it, I "push" my hobby on my daughter, nieces, nephews and visitors. On many occasions I have taken some coins from my safe (the good ones are in my safe deposit box) and showed them to company. I even bring coins to work and have introduced some of my friends at work to the hobby. For the past two years I only give proof sets as birthday presents to my nieces and nephews. I'm definately not a force, but I will keep the fire burning, that I promise. Harry[/QUOTE]
