They are a direct link to our past, and each mark was made on them by another person- ten, fifty, ninety, and sometimes hundreds of years before us. Even if I could afford to buy graded slabbed coins in high MS I doubt I would&nbsp; #1 because I love the thrill of searching for a coin I want in rolls, coffee cans and cigar boxes, yard and estate sales, old building foundations, etc...and #2 because I want to be able to see my coins up close and examine the details as well as let light set off any toning...and oh yeah here&#039;s the big one-#3-They are mine and I will hold them if I want to! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
