<p>[QUOTE="Lugia, post: 1160399, member: 21025"]ive always been collecting something. the first thing i really do remember collecting was lincoln cents. i was so young i really didnt understand anything about it besides maybe mintages. after that it was baseball cards. next was antique radios. i went back to coins because i really dont have the room to store radios and baseball cards is such a bum market. theres so many great different reasons for collecting coins. the history, the artwork, meeting people and sharing knowledge i would even say the artwork on top of artwork (toned coins). i wouldnt want to turn it into a job because im not very good at telling people when they have junk in a nice way and im sure dealers are looking at junk all the time. i probably wouldnt mind being someones assistant but im pretty satisfied right now just going to a dealer once a month and shows once or twice a year. im sure of all the items i have collected ive spent the most time on coins because theres just so much to learn but i really just try to limit myself to large cents to keep my head from exploding. hahaha</p><p> </p><p>and nice thread. its great to read other peoples reasons for getting into this hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
