<p>[QUOTE="kountryken, post: 3009768, member: 89798"]Please, if you don't read anything else, know that I didn't take offense at this statement, nor do I mean any disrespect to your thoughts on this, but, I guess I'm one-of-a-kind. I could care less what my heirs think of my collection. I'm doing this for me, not for them, and I'm having fun. I'm not sure if I will even leave my collection to any of them. They don't need it, as I've provided for them in other ways. If I met someone, just starting out, that thought like me (scary!), I might leave it to them, for them to have fun! </p><p><br /></p><p>.</p><p>My family has plenty of reasons to think of me as weird, lol, but my coins are far down that list of reasons. But, of the family members that I've shown my collection to, well, part of it, they have been very interested in learning about different coins, mm, etc. They are amazed that coins were minted in half, large, two, three cents, half dimes, twenty cents, etc. They love to hold the coin in their hands (in a 2x2, of course), and generally have a comment like, "I bet that coin could tell a story as to where it has been". I love history! Coins are history, to me. I am EXTREMELY BLESSED, but I can't afford "museum quality" coins. I am thrilled for those of you that can, please continue to do so. I could possibly buy a moderate high grade coin, or I can slowly work toward completing a set of the "released for circulation" years and mints. It's fun to me to complete the sets. I upgrade as I can, but, if I don't have one, I get the best I can afford, at the time, and as it becomes available. I can't imagine enjoying it any more![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
