<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 8432559, member: 68&quot;]My experience has always been that the collector instinct is most easily seen in the desire of kids to plug holes and the immense satisfaction they get in completing a collection.&nbsp; Almost all the kids who started collecting from the 1930&#039;s to the&nbsp; 1960&#039;s began in this way. </p><p><br /></p><p>Coins in circulation today are older, more diverse, and far scarcer than they were in 1957 when I started collecting buffalo nickels. Even 50 year old coins in those days were almost unimaginable and today most coins date back 55 years and a few date back over a century.&nbsp; All the better coins were picked clean from circulation before I started but I didn&#039;t know that then.&nbsp; Today many coins in circulation have never even been looked at and scarcities abound.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>New collectors should learn the ropes anyway before they start buying expensive coins.&nbsp; What better and less expensive way than to find coins in circulation.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I think you&#039;re doing great work and if more followed your lead the success of the hobby would be assured for generations to come because many collectors start with their parents&#039; and grandparents&#039; help and encouragement.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
