<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BustCoinageDude, post: 1009987, member: 12004&quot;]When I first started seriously collecting over thirty years ago, it was a similar experience to most.&nbsp; I had the blue whitman folders with the sliding plastic screens(love the smell!!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).&nbsp; I was a kid in my early teen filling Lincoln cent holes.&nbsp; Later on I transitioned to 19th and 20th century type, with an emphasis on Barber, Bust, and Seated material.</p><p>&nbsp;The more and more I collect, the more flexible I become in what I collect.&nbsp; I still desire quality, but I am willing to collect numismatic and exonumismatic items that I gave no credit to when I was younger.&nbsp; This includes tokens, medals, paper money, modern US proof coinage, etc.&nbsp; I think we owe it to young as well as new collectors to introduce them to a more eclectic array of numismatic items , to that end, show some stuff that you wouldn&#039;t otherwise admit to collecting, <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Show some diversity! I&#039;ll go first.&nbsp; If you had told me five years ago that I would be collecting this, I would look at you like you had three heads, but here I am and here they are:, and I love it, show yours</p><p>___________</p><p>___________________</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;1925 Pius XI .990 silver medal.
