[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1620368, member: 26302"]In all seriousness OP, I believe you will find your attitude to US coins changing slightly. I collected US coins only for about 15 years. Then I found some ancients, were swayed by their beauty, and started to collect them. After a while, I started buying what would be considered world coins, (since there is no difference between "ancient" and "world" except an arbitrary date). After buying some world coins I liked, and still collecting ancients, my view towards US coins was altered. Now, US coins to me are no different than Cuba, Russia, Thailand, etc. Its just another country's coins, they are not "special" like I used to think them to be. In that light, I still believe there are great, worthwhile US coins, and I do still occasionally buy them. I thing early commemoratives, and things like CBH's are terrific values for the most part, but things like 20th century "keys" look more and more ridiculous. I was just warning you that most likely your outlook on US coins will probably start to change. Not saying its good or bad, (though I would say good if I had to choose), just saying it will gradually change most likely. Chris[/QUOTE]
