<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3202505, member: 19463&quot;]I never read posts on the US forum but was attracted to this from the right side menu when I saw who posted to it.&nbsp; I stopped collecting US about 1960 when I moved to ancients but kept my US, the majority of which were pulled from circulation as was much more usual for kids of that day.&nbsp; There is absolutely nothing wrong with collecting US and I occasionally enjoy looking at some of mine but don&#039;t intend on buying any for more than face value.&nbsp; I suggest keeping an open mind and not being quick to sell anything until you know with more certainty what will thrill you in fifty years.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin below cost me 25 cents when it was about 40 years old.&nbsp; By today&#039;s standards it would not be considered a great find (it is not slabbed) but I&#039;m glad I kept it along with a handful of things that seemed boring when I was 21. I could have spent it for a burger when I lost interest in it. </p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/image/115663769.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Agree.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
