<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 24677029, member: 100459&quot;]I didn&#039;t start collecting coins until my father died and left me half of his coins.&nbsp; After looking over the coins to see what was there, I did a lot of research on coins and decided that I would like to start my own coin collection.&nbsp; I looked for the type of coins that I would like to collect.&nbsp; I like coins that are Proof or those that are very nice.&nbsp; I compared the price of the coins at the Mint as well as ebay and other Coin Stores.&nbsp; I like my coins almost pristine.&nbsp; The best coins that I saw for the money was and is at the Mint.&nbsp; I don&#039;t collect graded coins because I like to research my coins and compare them to those in coin books, of which I have many.&nbsp; </p><p>It&#039;s an expensive hobby.&nbsp; My wife and I are retired State employees.&nbsp; I was a State Auditor and my wife was a high school English teacher.&nbsp; We have no children, therefore, no heirs.&nbsp; I do have a son, but he is wealthy on his own.&nbsp; We are currently collecting nice size state retirement incomes and Social Security.&nbsp; We own two homes, 4 cars (all Toyotas) as well as annuities.&nbsp; What else would you do if you had more money in the bank that you could never spend.&nbsp; We are conservative in our spending, so, any other ideas where you could by gold and silver coins which will appreciate over time?</p><p>So, each of us has a reason to buy or not to buy U.S. Mint Coins.&nbsp; I wish you all the best.&nbsp; (Did I tell you I have 4 dogs and a cat?)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
