<p>[QUOTE="susanlynn9, post: 15293, member: 1258"]ND, you hit it right on the money (pardon the pun <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ). My appreciation of coins began with my grandfather and the memories of he and I going through change and talking about the coins and their history will always be treasured. Although I sell more than collect now, selling has actually opened new doors for me as far as the history and meaning of many coins. I won't sell a coin without researching everything there is to know about it and have found different pieces of history interesting enough to research time periods and historical events further. To hold in my hand a rouble coin from the days of Tsarism in Russia when ruled by the last Romanov, Nicholas II and the history of Rasputin and the Imperial family murder gives me chills. Actually, it's funny - I have a larger and better collection now that we sell than I did when I was collecting. What's even better is that I get to make a living doing something I love and I know my Grandfather is looking down with a big smile on his face <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
