<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DieHard11, post: 2160974, member: 74563&quot;]<i>As it is in collecting most anything, if you have the passion to collect coins and the patience to inform yourself of the many facets of numismatics, which can be a never-ending pursuit, it&#039;s always a good time to collect.&nbsp; I started in the early 1960s, when I was just 10 or 11.&nbsp; Myself and a couple of friends saw it as a kind of treasure-hunting.&nbsp; We would bring rolls of common coins to the local supermarket and exchange them for other rolls.&nbsp; At that time, there were still many Buffaloes, Indians, Liberties, etc. circulating and it was pretty easy pickings.&nbsp; It was exciting and competitive, even if we didn&#039;t know much except for what many of the rare coins were.&nbsp;&nbsp; Within a year or so, the initial shine of collecting (more like amassing) began to dull and we went on to other interests.&nbsp; When I began collecting again 5 years ago, I became a wiser, more patient collector, but the excitement and treasure-hunting feelings were rekindled.&nbsp; There are still cannons that thunder and treasures to plunder, so go for it!</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
