<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SwineOfTroyes, post: 1802699, member: 38150&quot;]I&#039;ll go first. </p><p><br /></p><p>I moved to CLT a little over a year ago with my gal. We live within the city and are from the Midwest. I haven&#039;t had much time for growing my collection here as I work more and have no clue as to quality local auctions or other alternative places to get good deals. I do what I can, but being here has slowed me down. Back home I was spoiled with a great bi monthly coin show in town and it is common for pawn shops back there to sell coins. Usually a little over spot if silver, unless an obvious CC Morgan and such. </p><p><br /></p><p>My gal has taken to collecting silver bullion. She just started and is just buying here and there when she sees a design she likes, which I encourage as its not just about silver hoarding. So far its foreign bullion, and many have animals. We buy copper rounds as well but for for the fun of the designs. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have collected for three years, and at 36, I started a little late. I have&nbsp; the standard 90% silver, not a lot, but enough to enjoy. I have found enjoyed collecting medals, and tokens. I have a few pounds of random tokens/medals that I picked up by the pound via auction. More to explore than for value. </p><p><br /></p><p>Currently I have been putting together sets for state or city centennial medals. Bronze, silver, copper, pewter, etc. It&#039;s a fun way to focus the little time I have into completing collections. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah, I think this is a good start.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
