<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stork, post: 2547380, member: 71642&quot;]Go with your gut and collect what gives you some passion.&nbsp; Many folks start and stop collecting during different phases of their life, change directions, go back to something etc.&nbsp; It&#039;s a hobby that should provide entertainment.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are young and life has a way of intervening and not allowing time for collecting...so don&#039;t pressure yourself.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I would advise that unless you need to free up cash, perhaps put away the family collection in a safe place so you can revisit it years (decades?) down the line.&nbsp; You may find your passion for that particular stuff rekindled and find the connection to family more compelling.&nbsp; Or, you may find you still hate it, and in the light of more life experience, decide to sell then.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>By safe I would find one of those airtight containers, make sure the coins are in inert flips/capsules/whatever and throw in a bunch of desiccant.&nbsp; Visit the box periodically to change out the desiccant and otherwise ignore.&nbsp; Years down the road it may be quite the treasure.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for world collections there are tons of ways to go.&nbsp; Currency, coins, exonumia etc.&nbsp; History, family connection, travel etc can light a spark.&nbsp; One cool thing (coin or currency) is a &#039;one from every country&#039; collection.&nbsp; Of course deciding what constitutes a country that belongs on the list can be daunting...If you want something more budget friendly (and going by your age) perhaps using a OFEC from your birth year is something that would appeal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
