[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 26610337, member: 90692"]Yes, the enjoyment of collecting is still present. For me, the process of finding coins from circulation, then studying, assigning a ballpark grade and then conserving it in a flip or capsule is still valid as is the thrill of finding one that has withstood the ravages of time, human fingers and corrosive agents. What is disheartening is the volume of finds worth conserving has diminished steadily every year. I’ve only saved 3 coins from circulation in the past month, and, can you believe it?…one of them was a copper penny, one was a 1992-D Rosie in MS60 condition and the most recent was a MS65 Azucar quarter from the women’s series. But whether you collect from circulation or save your lunch money for several weeks to buy that special one you’ve got your eye on…the joy of collecting is still alive and kicking…Spark[/QUOTE]
