<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 16152, member: 487&quot;]Too often collectors start out in this hobby with too many pre-conceived notions about coins. They pick a coin series based on price, collectability, or resale possibilities. 99% of seasoned collectors and dealers will tell you to collect what you like. When you make a purchase of a coin that appeals to you, the value will be sentimental. </p><p><br /></p><p>In another thread it was asked if collections must have a reason. This is a very true statement. If you are collecting coins that represent &quot;wars&quot;, don&#039;t forget the &quot;almost wars&quot; or the ancient wars. </p><p>If you are collecting Presidents, don&#039;t forget the leaders of other nations or civilizations. </p><p><br /></p><p>With the renewed interest in the pioneer days, don&#039;t overlook the fractional gold and private minted coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Under a broader umbrella of numismatics Colonial Coppers, Hard Time Tokens, and Civil War Tokens are a great way to expand your collection. Adding a few coins from the founding countries of the colonies will tie this collection together. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ancient coins fit into all collections. These coins tell the story of history of coinage. </p><p><br /></p><p>Remember that your collection is a representation of your tastes and interests, don&#039;t let it be dictated by what the coin market is doing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
