<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cascade, post: 2366396, member: 75984&quot;]For me, yes I had leanings towards liking coins as a kid such as finding those weird pennies with a different back in change or those strange quarters with a drummer boy on them etc. But what really did it was the $ as I loved the movie UHF as a kid and a bum is given a penny that was worth thousands (55 dd) well I didn&#039;t think much of it beyond that until a few years ago when I started to go to auctions as a picker and those big beautiful silver coins (morgans) started to catch my eye. I&#039;d buy some here or there to resell but usually broke even at best with them as I didn&#039;t know what I was doing. Then, at one auction the owner tells me that at a previous auction I missed a few months prior a regular bought some morgans for $100 each and he resold one for almost $10k. Now, I don&#039;t know if that was true and the only way I can see it happening (now that I have the experiance) had to be with a vam or conditional rarity. But it got me very interested in morgans from that point forward then I found forums and my education and current passion was off and running.</p><p><br /></p><p>Point of the story is that I hate when &quot;true&quot; collectors disregard the value and investment aspect of collecting coins as it brought me and many, many others onto this hobby. And will continue to do so <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
