<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Inspector43, post: 3266110, member: 89213&quot;]I started in 1948. I had a lot of jobs in my youth that included handling change. I amassed a very large hoard of all common coins from late 1800&#039;s. Now I have 13 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren. I have enough coins of all denominations to give each enough to get a good start in collecting. They are just not interested. I think the hobby is ending and the US Mint is a contributing factor. Making too much stuff that can&#039;t be found in circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>A good example is the second half of the Presidential dollars. An individual could purchase rolls of each. Then, the mint cut that out and if you wanted them you had to buy them from a dealer because the amount from the mint was very prohibitive for the general collector. I quit the mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
