Now im totaly hooked i still collect the tubes of eagles and some gold coins ect each month as a way to put a bit of money away(its sure easier to pick up and run with than a house and no government or lawyer need know you have it).But ive gotten more and more also into coins and am quite frankly an addict. British coins being from britain im collecting, modern milled sixpences and shillings but anything realy.Always up to trade and do a deal, also have a few morgan dollars and some standing liberty halfs.As well as lots of 90% silver i keep hunting through hoping to find a error or nice find in. good to be around such company here, can only help us newer collectors progress and learn[/QUOTE]
