Sometimes I find a coin and decide to keep it, ie, not spend it at face value. Some of my stack include gold passed through the family. That&#039;s special.</font></font></p><p><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size="4"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size="4">I have &quot;invested&quot; in a few SAE&#039;s because they are &quot;pretty&quot; to me and are my PM backup.

Some collect, some hunt, some horde, some sort &amp; and roll search &amp; some invest.</font></font></p><p><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size="4"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size="4">It&#039;s all good!:thumb:</font></font></p><p><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size="4"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size="4">But having a computer determine what a coin is worth is kinnda beyond the fun level to me.</font></font></p><p><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size="4"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Comic Sans MS"><font size="4">Reading some of these threads about grading leave me thinking about that poor fellow in Florida looking for hanging chads.
