<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hommer, post: 2057104, member: 73266&quot;]I started collecting coins at about 10, my dad collected circulated coins. Never knew him to buy them just for collective porposes but do remember him going through his change everyday.&nbsp; He had some really nice silver that was left to me a couple years ago. I never got to play with any of it but I was always full of questions and he would answer the best he could. He wasn&#039;t a highly educated man but had an enormous amount of wisdom and a big heart.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Morgans were my favorite and still are. That is a beautiful coin. It not only shows the great artistic ability of the American people but also the reverse shows our might. Although I do like the</p><p>eagle on the reverse of the Barber a bit more because, to me anyway,&nbsp; it shows a bit more fearsome and determined we as a nation are to sustain Liberty.</p><p>My first coins were Ikes that I bought from the bank a little over 40 years ago and still have them. Big coins make big eyes on a young boy.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have collected Silver Eagles which is another beautiful coin but it does disappoint me some that the strike on the unc version of this coin is kinda weak on the obverse. To me our coinage represents us as a nation and it all should look like we take great pride in what we do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
