<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCB1983, post: 1487872, member: 23885&quot;]Well as a young child coin collecting helped me through some troubling times.&nbsp; I was born 80% deaf and pretty much didn&#039;t understand the world.&nbsp; When people spoke to me all I heard was a muffling sound.&nbsp; My golden retreiver was my only friend.&nbsp; When I discovered coins (at age 4) it was incredibly liberating.&nbsp; I had a focus.&nbsp; I also feel as though it taught me a little bit of responsibility.&nbsp; I was accountable for something.&nbsp; Collecting gave me a great satisfaction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Later on in life (2 years ago) I got back into coins.&nbsp; I felt as though the things that my friends were doing weren&#039;t very respectable.&nbsp; You can imagine.&nbsp; There is something about art/history in coin collecting that brings a certain degree of respect.&nbsp; I appreciate that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
