[QUOTE="Travlntiques, post: 2283942, member: 39129"]Very well done Andy, you actually bought the 1953 Dime for less than the value of its silver content. By a hair anyway, but still a good thing :-) Coins have taught me a lot about our history! Historical events from specific dates, important people, places & things. It is a hobby full of people that enjoy history, but also numbers....there is a lot of math involved when it comes to budgeting purchases, understanding value and rarity. I think your Dad should be tremendously proud you've taken up an interest in something which has usually only been avidly pursued by the aristocracy. They call it the hobby of Kings after all! Buying coins can be a great savings account for future years too....when you buy them at the right prices, which you obviously have done. Also, don't be shy to ask for opinions from those coin dealers. In my experience, by asking, most folks will try to make sure you get a good piece worthy of keeping for many years to come![/QUOTE]
