[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 169240, member: 669"]Some folks collect tarnished coins. (Euphemistically referred to as "toned" :D ) Some folks collect coins with holes in them. Some folks collect only undamaged coins. Some folks collect only high grade uncirculated coins. Some folks collect only proofs. Some folks collect only well circulated coins. Some folks collect by type. Some folks collect by date/mint mark. Some folks collect under other standards. Some folks collect with no specific standards, and hoard anything and everything that comes their way. Some folks collect only what they expect to significantly increase in value - frequently bullion. (They're known to the rest of us as "investors".) They are all coin collectors, doing what's right for themselves. In other words, my friend, the lyrics of a song popular in my youth quite nicely and accurately sum up the subject of "How to collect coins" - .[/QUOTE]
