Back then, all of them were just chunks of bullion too, and most people said - why bother collecting them ? Now don't get me wrong, I agree, they are just chunks of bullion.

'Course that won't do any of us any good, just like the coins from yesteryear didn't do any of the collectors from back then any good. The difference ? The difference is they didn't collect those coins we'd all kill for today hoping to make money on them. They collected them because they liked them :) Which of course is why you, all of you, should be collecting them today ;)[/QUOTE]
