<p>[QUOTE="Charles REid, post: 2728133, member: 85334"]While the classes of collectors is a reasonable grouping of the largest groups, many evolved with the changes. It is true, growing up with silver coins, neat Mercury dimes and such, made collecting rewarding, if for no other reason the beauty of the coins. The local coins stores often had few new pieces to offer of the old coins, so, collectors drifted or paused in collecting. EBAY in the 1990's was a place were estates and liquidation by individuals created an exciting and new access to fill collections. I remember staying up to the wee hours at night ti finish an auction on West Coast time. As finances have allowed, I could enjoy three cent and two cent coins, varieties and some newer modern coins. One grows with this hobby but you still have roots in favorite areas to collect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
