<p>[QUOTE=&quot;smullen, post: 209768, member: 5165&quot;]Simmilarly, I collect firearms too, but they are much harder to show off, without non-gun people freaking out or risking breaking a law for brandishing or something goofy that and I think that I run the risk that one day in my future certian people will get their way and my collection could get outlawed and confiscated... </p><p><br /></p><p>Then, I&#039;ll be out all the money I have spent on my collection over the last 20+ years... </p><p><br /></p><p>So , I can sort of see your point, or how some would see it that way... </p><p><br /></p><p>But, I do have to say, I enjoy looking at my coins over and over again...</p><p><br /></p><p>Learning all the fine details of each, when they started, stopped, what Mints made them and about all the history that goes with them...</p><p><br /></p><p>While I think it is more fun or enjoyable to share my excitent of coins and my collection I&#039;m trying to build, I could enjoy my collection just fine all by myself...&nbsp; Aside from you guys I pretty much&nbsp; do...</p><p><br /></p><p>No one else that I know really gives <img src="http://midwest-signsanddesigns.com/Smileys/2cents.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> about coins....&nbsp; Some think they are sort of interesting, but wouldn&#039;t pay more than face for anything and would just toss any good finds in the Change jar...&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I had a friend give me a well circulated looking Peace dollar and a Generic trade round... He foud them in his change jar and thought I&#039;d like them since I collect coins... Knowing they had some value, I said are you sure, you don&#039;t want these??? Each one is woth atleast 10.00s...</p><p><br /></p><p>He said, &quot;Naaa, I got no use for&#039;em and I know you like that crap, so I might as well let you enjoy it.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I said, &quot;OK, so long as you know and are sure.&quot; Then I insisted on buying lunch that day...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I can also see your point here...&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>After I&#039;ve won something on ebay or ordered something, everyday, I run home and check the mail to see if my new &quot;&quot;treasure&quot; has came or not...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
