<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Richard01, post: 81839, member: 2700&quot;]It came with the realization that I am a coin collector, not an investor. I don&#039;t care what they are worth for the most part, as I have no intention of selling them. I do, however, want many examples of each type, each year and mint mark I can own, and lots of them. I love cataloging them, and organizing them. I have about 7,000 coins currently, that are worth under $10 each (many are worth a buck or so)! That&#039;s a lot of &#039;junk&#039; that I love looking through. And you know what? From that junk, I have managed to identify several hundred that were actually worth $20 to $50 in some cases, which is some of the benefit of sorting through other peoples &#039;junk&#039;. Sometimes, people still throw the baby out with the bathwater. </p><p>Then there are &#039;special&#039; coins we have to have. I admit, I have an Oregon Trail commem, in MS65, as well as a handful of other more valuable coins, but nothing that has to go off to the safety deposit box! I love my big ole&#039; collection of stuff!</p><p>I&#039;ll tell you what, you can&#039;t beat the fun of digging through a bunch of average coins and finding a rare date doubling! I have found a number of interesting and uncommon errors in searching buffalo&#039;s (my favorites), and others.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
