<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bisquitlips, post: 1338259, member: 24057&quot;]Yup! Tear them open and relish each one.&nbsp; Look for any variations and learn. Then tube them up and add them to your collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Learn to love coin collecting!&nbsp; There is nothing on earth IMO like collecting coins / Nusmismatics. But remember that you make your own rules. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I am one that has the reputation of taking a 1803 PCGS AU Draped Bust Cent and breaking it out of the slab to put it in my 7070 Type Set book, which is &quot;something no one should ever do under any circumstances.&quot;&nbsp; But I do not care about the $$$, but the joy!&nbsp; What a coin and what a pleasure to hold it between my fingers and place it under my 25X stereo microscope for a closer look without any plastic between me and her!&nbsp; What a pleasure to smell it. Yes smell it!!! An 1803 Draped Bust Cent does have a scent. Try it sometime. If you can catch it through that thick plastic.&nbsp; (Perhaps I should change my forum name to &quot;The Smeller&quot;). And finally feel that light snap as I fit her into her proper place within the 7070 Dansco and slid the plastic cover over her face. </p><p><br /></p><p>And I can pull her out at any time and enjoy this coin and wonder at her history.&nbsp; Almost back to the very beginning of our Republic. I wonder where she has been? Who spent her? In whose pocket did she reside? What child bought candy with her? </p><p><br /></p><p>Again, live by your own rules, and you will love this hobby and it will reward you in turn.&nbsp; Don&#039;t get into what other people think is right.&nbsp; Do what you love to do and do it well. Open any rolls you desire to.&nbsp; Reveal the mysteries. Find the treasures.&nbsp; Most of all enjoy![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
