[QUOTE="Ed Zak, post: 33730, member: 824"]Amen to that. I often wondered that if a coin could speak, where has it been? Where was it used? Where was it stored? A vault? A poker game out West? My grandfather's pocket change as he bought candy as a kid? You get the picture. I look at a 1914 coin as... Wow!, that was the start of World War I or a Lincoln cent from the 30's as a time when one of four were unemployed and the thought of collecting/hoarding a MS 1930's coin was really not a top priority...eating was! Beauty and History. If you appreciate both, coin collecting is for you! Now excuse me as I look for Wisconsin State Quarters with an extra corn leaf!
