<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 8262239, member: 100459&quot;]I buy coins or sets that suit me from the Mint.&nbsp; Things that I really like go fast and at my age, it&#039;s hard to keep up with what the Mint is doing.&nbsp; Are there any publications that gives us a &quot;heads up&quot; on what is going on with the Mint?&nbsp; I&#039;ve read on CT that many collectors have quit buying from the Mint several years ago.&nbsp; </p><p>There have been 2 venues/subjects that the Mint has put out that I really like.&nbsp; I have been a science fiction fan since I was in the 6th grade.&nbsp; I read Asmov&#039;s Foundation series when I was 13 and Clarke a little later, so when the Mint came out with their Apollo 11 series of coins, I bought one of everything.&nbsp; The Apollo 11 prints are on the wall in my office next to Spock/Leonard Nimoy. I loved the Mayflower series as well.&nbsp; One of my &quot;dog patch&quot; kin (distant relative) was the second governor of Jamestown.&nbsp; I also started reading Louis L&#039;Amour books about the Sacketts.&nbsp; It starts out in the 17th century and continues on.</p><p>I want to thank all of the collectors for their input about coins.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t start until my mother passed in 2009.&nbsp; My father left his collection to me and my brother, but my mother would not let us have it until she passed.&nbsp; We tried to make an equitable division of his coin collection.&nbsp; My brother took his collection and put it in a box and left it there.&nbsp; I offered to pay him, but he doesn&#039;t need the money.</p><p>Anyway, thanks to my father, I started a new hobby of coin collecting at the ripe old age of 62, and thanks to all of you, I have learned a great deal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
