<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WINS7, post: 20358, member: 1413&quot;]I collect only business strikes and have little of no interest in proofs, commemoratives or bullion for bullions sake.&nbsp; All it takes to acquire a proof or commemorative coin is the money.&nbsp; Business strikes on the other hand take time and patience, and of course a little money.&nbsp; But they have a purpose and a history that goes with each coin.&nbsp; They were produced to be handled and circulated.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also care little about rarieties.&nbsp; Why tie up all your funds in one coin just because it may be worth more some day.&nbsp; OK, it will be worth more, but that&#039;s not why I collect, but I&#039;m probably in the minority.&nbsp; Collecting for me is a way to become more in touch with the history the coin was a part of, rather than just hording as many shinny, round metal disks as I can.&nbsp; But hey, that&#039;s just me.&nbsp; I also collect chopmarked, counter marked, holed, cleaned and toned coins.&nbsp; The coins that no one wants because they&#039;re damaged goods.</p><p><br /></p><p>Different strokes,....&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
