[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 2721267, member: 77814"]I have the same problem. I recall getting stuff in change and collecting it. Well, I collected all of it actually and just shoved everything in coin rolls, and boxes, and containers, etc. Fast forward and now I have to buy everything. I've never done a dansco to get each date and mint, but I like the different designs (not year and mint mark). So after I finished my "design" coin collection I turned towards paper money. Then it hit me. Why do I want to pay $90 or $200 for a $10 bill? I tried to justify it to myself as I was trying to collect paper money that states "redeem in silver/gold" But still .. $200 for a $10. Hmm .... I stopped at that point. ... and started collecting ASEs LOL which has basically stopped too for the most part after I worked on collecting one of each year circulated ASE. That was easy, though a couple years a bit pricey. I've gone to a couple coin shows and other than 1800 and less 50c or dollar coins I'm really not interested. I do like 50c busts though but not spending the money as I already have a few. So now even coin shows I don't buy anything. I should just write a book.[/QUOTE]
