<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pennywise, post: 601843, member: 17940&quot;]Great read, RickieB.&nbsp; I for one, think the biggest gap between collecting coins and paper comes down to affordability. You can purchase many types of coins from the last hundred years for a modest amount money, depending on grades. There are vast numbers of coins available for the average Joe, with many various designs. People love to show off their types. However, paper, until recently, has changed little since 1928. I&#039;m not saying it&#039;s not beautiful or there are not varieties, but you can show an 8 year old a 1935 dollar and they know it&#039;s a dollar, yet show them a 1935 Walker or Merc. and they&#039;re awed. Availibility is what it&#039;s all about. Nice old paper costs big bucks. I&#039;m not putting paper collecting down, mind you, I have a modest stack of my own and I love it, but notes prior to 1923 are way out of my reach. I still hope to own a nice Eagle or Chief someday.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
