<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1938388, member: 26302&quot;]But who said anything about &quot;still has everything his dad had before him&quot;? I did not inherit a single coin sir, my father could not afford to have a coin and not spend it to make ends meet. So, as to your &quot;spoiled older collector&quot; comment, I find it repugnant. I am 45 years, but simply have been around US coins and collecting them since I was&nbsp; 5 or 6. The fact that today there are not very many US coins that interest me is partially due to my extensive knowledge of the subject, (I nearly memorized the 1976 copy of the redbook), and the fact that since I now collect mainly ancients I find most US coin designs to be wanting in the design department.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, maybe you should actually ask us before you assume I am some kind of trustfund baby idly pissing away my inheritance. I have worked hard for everything in life I have, including my coin collection. If that is offensive to you, so be it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, there ARE occasionally US coins I buy when I am at shows. Mainly out of boredom, but I have picked up a few bust halves, SL halves, and a couple of weeks ago a PCGS MS65 Oregon Trail that I found to be quite attractive for the issue. So I guess there are a few sub-$500 I will buy at times, but not much came to mind at the time. The one US coin I would intentionally go after and would love to own someday would be a 1793 AMERI. chain cent in a pleasant VG. I lusted after that coin as a child, as a young adult, and still today. Something about the documented first US circulating coin I find nearly irresistable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
