[QUOTE="rad1964, post: 626123, member: 18557"]I think the initial collecting is because its cool and old. The next part is what is it worth. Personally, I like what I like, is there a regard concerning how much? Sure. Obviously not everyone was meant to own everything. With that being said, a collector like myself who started with some Littleton foreign coins and coins from a gumball machine. Then having a few coins passed on to me from my Dad. Then actually buying a Lincoln Cent folder. Lets progress to now. I still collect foreign coins. I want at leat one from every country. I collect paper money. Although my collection is >>tiny<< I plan on getting some older more valuable ones like an 1800's silver certificate etc. I collect Lincoln cents still need three more, then I will STOP collecting them and hold on to what I have mainly as a collection, secondly for what they are worth (in case I need food when I am 90) ... I collect Morgans, just started, have 15 or so most in MS condition. I collect cool looking proofs from any ol' country. I collect Opals. All for the sheer feeling, I feel when I hold and look at these objects.[/QUOTE]
