<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 24573385, member: 106826&quot;]That’s about right.&nbsp; When I went off to college and later as I started my career, I didn’t have time to collect seriously (or play golf). More than a decade passed. During that time I did ‘collect’ but it was mostly just scanning my change for anything old or interesting.&nbsp; Only after buying my first home and starting a family did the conditions re-emerge.&nbsp; Two things happened.&nbsp; My dad wanted to make my old bedroom into a computer room/office so he&nbsp; had me retrieve my collection which had sat under the bed for nearly 30 years. It was safe there.&nbsp; But by this time I had youngsters in my own home and aware that if they didn’t know the importance of the collection, could grab some extra change for spending money. A scary thought that my collection could finally be at risk.&nbsp;&nbsp; Teaching them that the collection has value renewed my own interest in collecting again, on a more serious level.&nbsp; Unfortunately neither of my kids got bit by the bug, but at least they learned why certain spare change is valuable to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
