<p>[QUOTE="Andy, post: 28221, member: 645"]I kinda of started in the 1980's picking up coins and notes from such differential places as northern europe, eastern europe, central america and the middle east. Most of this pocket change ended up in the hands of friends and children. However, during my many years of residence in Manhatten, I was always enchanted by the auction houses and coin stores and spent an occasional afternoon engaging in causal observation, conversation and quiet enjoyment. Now that I live in less isolated as it once was Southwest Florida that I have become an active collector with French 20 gold francs from 1802 to 1914. As well as dabling in Zuid Africa Republic silver, reminds me of some lost friends, and I am thinking of expanding into another semi-serious collection but I have not made my mind up and yes to my investor friends, I do buy United States Gold Bullion coins on occassion for I like the idea of everything about it. But perhaps my favorite collection costs me 25 cents a coin and that is the State Quarter Collection that I have with my six year old, the oldest of my three sons.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
