<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 347302, member: 4552&quot;]OK now someone is making fun of me there. Back in the 70&#039;s a freind of mine and myself went nutty collecting as many of those Bicentennial Quarters as possible. Not to long ago for the fun of it I asked many dealers at a coin show how much they would pay for them. Most ignored me. One said $0.24 each. Not sure but I think he was hinting he didn&#039;t want them at all. What happened to them. Into a banks counting machine and the money where it should have been, my savings account. </p><p>As to that article from the 70 years of collecting. The title should have been I&#039;m old, lost interest, no relatives want this stuff. </p><p>That guy and others like him are just nuts or old age got to him. And if they have time to write articles like that, they should try doing something constructive like writting fairy tales for kids. His is close now. </p><p>I&#039;ve been collecting coins and lots of other STUFF for well over 60 years. I never sold a coin and don&#039;t care how much they may be worth. I keep an inventory in Excel but it has only dates, mint marks, grades and a page number at the bottom and a title on the top. No prices. At my age I didn&#039;t loose interest in coins, just thier future which means why should I care about the values if no intent on selling them. </p><p>I&#039;ve got several old cars. People constantly tell me to get rid of them. WHY do they care? They are mine, mine, mine as a little kid would say. </p><p>Back to the original post. Collect coins, stamps, Hot Wheel cars or whatever you want. Do it for fun. Soooooon enough you&#039;ll be as old as me and have something to look back at as fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
