<p>[QUOTE="TheFinn, post: 2873895, member: 90102"]It is interesting and exciting to see people's collecting nature change as they grow in the hobby. From collecting Lincoln cents, to type sets, to tokens, to medals, to ancients, etc. Sometimes you have to go through a lot of steps to get to a destination you never saw beyond the horizon. The only set I collect religiously are the new Austrian silver/niobium bimetallics that started in 2003. Being a chemist, I have always been fascinated by all of the elements, and niobium can be anodized into a wide range of apparent colors - apparent because the color isn't there, just a difference in thickness of the oxide layer that bends the light. Your items are like branches from a tree that go in different directions. It's not for everyone, but it will definitely get someone interested in following one of those branches.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
