<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Detecto92, post: 1598495, member: 75105&quot;]I will admit that my collecting interests have changed, but it was for a reason, I just did not know what to collect. So I collected a little bit of everything. I&#039;ve had paper money, modern world coins, ancient coins, old world coins, old US coins, modern us coins, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did not like modern, so that was the 1st one I dropped. Most of the designs could not hold a candle to the older designs. After seeing proof seated coinage, I really began to hate modern.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got away from world coinage too, primarily because the designs I liked were very expensive. I liked a lot of the silver coinage from the 1870s and before, but after looking at how expensive a lot of pieces were, I dropped that as well. Maybe later on in life when I have more of a budget.</p><p><br /></p><p>I dropped ancients as well, I just did not like collecting them.</p><p><br /></p><p>So that pretty much left older US coinage. </p><p><br /></p><p>After seeing how expensive the barber series is, I dropped that, and went even older.</p><p><br /></p><p>So now my interests are civil war and before coins from the US. The only exception being Morgan dollars and Indian gold (too expensive right now).</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason why I collect old coins, is because it&#039;s history. You can&#039;t hold a PF69DCAM Ike dollar in your hand and wonder who&#039;s hands it might of passed through long ago. </p><p><br /></p><p>My favorite coinage is the Capped bust series, primarily due to the low cost, and beautiful design of the coins. My 2nd would be seated coinage. I drool over proof seated coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p>So ya, there for a while my interests changed weekly, but it was only because I wanted to try a little of everything before settling for something.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
