<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1159973, member: 26302&quot;]I started young, but lost interest in the basic every date/mintmark thing. getting a new mintmark didn&#039;t excite me, even at 10. I have always loved silver, so moved to buying what silver I could afford, and still remember my excitement holding my first morgan. I actually had some money as a kid, (won a bingo jackpot), and convinced my mother to let me put it all in silver coins. When late 1979 came around, it just got too expensive for me to want them any more. I sold them all. I started up serious buying again in 1990, (hung around a lot of coin ships earlier), spending money again to accumulate bulk silver cheap. After I got enough, I started buying better coins, working my way up. This got boring after a few years and I slowed down again. I discovered ancients 10 years ago or so, and this more fully occupies me now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, I am a hoarder of silver, I love owning pounds and pounds of it. I am also a history buff, so ancient history has pulled me into ancient coins, (or is it vice versa)? I just love having a nice library, seeing something that I have never seen before, buying it and then going home and reading about it more fully. Chalk me up as acquisitive/historian, or just a silver bug who also loves history, and US history just got too small of a pond to concentrate in.</p><p><br /></p><p>Great thread btw Winged, thank you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
