<p>[QUOTE="cubenewb, post: 1178193, member: 25644"]My story is perhaps stereotypical; my grandpa gave me some coins and over time I grew to appreciate them. They were my greatest bond with my uncle and grandfather. I remember always striking up conversation with my uncle on the subject of silver prices or error types; when he passed away last year from CF I began to treasure the coins he added to my collection more. He was always so generous, giving my sisters and I shiny mercuries and unique errors he had bought on eBay and at coin shows for us. My love of coins was initially for financial gain; over the years, I've come to treasure most of my items for less concrete, investment-driven motives. I'm glad to say I'm not just some silver bug refreshing the silver prices on 'silverprice.com' hoping to turn a marginal profit; I sincerely enjoy the story and symbolic meaning of money, and thus, consider myself more invested in the hobby personally than I am financially.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
