<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lktknow, post: 347191, member: 13055&quot;]<b>I am very new to coin collecting, so, I most likely will post things that you all have know about for years, and I apologize for that. I have a question about an article I just read, (because I have been doing nothing but investigating this coin collecting tangent I am on) and this man seems to be top in his field of numismatists, but this particular article sort of put a damper on any future coin collecting. to hear him talk from this article, unless I am misinterpreting it, there is no sense collecting anything, or am I missing something??</b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b><a href="http://www.scvhistory.com/scvhistory/signal/coins/soltaylor020208.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.scvhistory.com/scvhistory/signal/coins/soltaylor020208.html" rel="nofollow"><u><span style="color: #800080">http://www.scvhistory.com/scvhistory/signal/coins/soltaylor020208.html</span></u></a></b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>here is the article&nbsp; :</b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[FONT=Times New Roman,Times Roman]<font size="6"><span style="color: #9f0000"><b>What to Collect, Hoard or Save </b></span></font>[/FONT]</b></p><p><b>[FONT=Times New Roman,Times Roman]<font size="3"><b>By Dr. Sol Taylor </b></font></b></p><p><b><font size="3"><i>&quot;Making Cents&quot;</i></font></b></p><p><b><font size="3">Saturday, February 2, 2008 </font>[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman,Times Roman]<font size="6"><span style="color: #000080"><b>I</b></span></font>[/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman,Times Roman]<font size="3">n my 70 years as a collector and more than 50 years as a dealer and appraiser, I have seen thousands of collections, hoards and accumulations of every conceivable type of material.</font></b></p><p><b><font size="3">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; More than 90 percent of the coins I have been asked to evaluate consist of a few numismatic items and mostly coins of no collector value (or even potential value). In the past 10 years or so, I have seen more than 100 accumulations — including, in one home, five coffee cans filled with foreign coins. Fortunately approximately 20 percent were silver; thus this was a valuable hoard. Most of the accumulations seemed to have a few, or many, Morgan and Peace dollars. This was primarily the result of people visiting Las Vegas or Reno in the days before 1970 when real silver dollars actually came out of the slot machines.</font></b></p><p><b><font size="3"><span style="color: Red">EDITED---Please don&#039;t post copyrighted infomation.</span></font></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
