<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1stSgt22, post: 6737759, member: 116892&quot;]I started &quot;collecting&quot; in the 50&#039;s with my Mom.&nbsp; I have never been interested in investing in coins or bullion, just collecting.&nbsp; If Mom and I didn&#039;t find it in pocket change we didn&#039;t have it.&nbsp; No way could we afford to buy a coin back then.&nbsp; Collected wheat cents mostly but would keep an old nickel if we found it.&nbsp; I still have a few no date buffaloes from back then.&nbsp; I am still interested in current value of coins and may ask for opinions here on CT occasionally, but it&#039;s strictly a curiosity thing for me because it corresponds directly with the grade of the coin.&nbsp; Of course as we all know there are many coins that probably be found CRH or in pocket change, so I will buy coins I want/need/like now to add to my collection. The most fun part for me is the hunt!!! When I find a special coin, regardless of potential value, it&#039;s like willing a jackpot!!!!!&nbsp; LOL&nbsp; I tried a while back to get my neighbors son interested in collection but the first time I had to tell him his coin was not the very expensive one he lost interest!!&nbsp; Really a shame!!!&nbsp; I guess that leads to what I think I have noticed with some of the newbies on here.&nbsp; They seem to think they are going to&nbsp; strike it rich, even to the pint of arguing with members who are telling them what they don&#039;t want to hear!!&nbsp; Thanks for letting me reminisce and vent all at the same time.&nbsp; Great thread!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
