Message:: [QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 887765, member: 25270"]I'm not saying it's the greatest coin ever made, but I see old coins as history and I hate to see any history destroyed like that. Since I've been trying to build up a coin collection I wanted to start with the easy coins first, so I started filling up folders of the more modern coins and then am working my way back. That's how I ended up looking for the silver Roosevelts. And I certainly don't blame anyone who sells their coins to pay their mortgage, I just hate to see the people who buy them melting them down. The coin dealers don't look like they're about to go bankrupt. Maybe it's just a different way of looking at coins, but for me, it's an antique and even if there are 100 million of them out there I don't like to think of them being destroyed.[/QUOTE]
