[QUOTE="bobbeth87, post: 574007, member: 18369"]I collected as a kid, then forgot about the hobby. I recently inherited my father's collection and have come completely obsessed with it and with buying coins to fill the slots he was missing (even though I can't afford it). I'm joining a local coin club this week, and spending all my spare time with coins. A friend of mine has a arcade and he is letting me sort through all of his change. I sorted through $500 of quarters (filled my State Commemorative folder except an Alaska P), and glass fulls of dimes, nickels and pennys. I found a 53 silver dime, and a couple of error dimes (I'll post pictures later). And, I'm having an absolute blast doing it. I don't know what it is, but I LOVE this hobby. Now, my Dad also had a Dansco missing only 3 walking halves and we can't find it. It is making me just sick. He also had standing liberty Qs and Liberty had half Dansco albums that are also missing. I am going to tear that house apart to find those baby's.... Anyway, I found cointalk this morning and it will be a lot cheaper than trolling ebay (which I have been doing the past month feeding my coin addiction). Does the obsession ever subside?[/QUOTE]
