<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lutecium94, post: 1445621, member: 37832&quot;]<b>Affective motivations</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Hi there, I like your personal stories. Coin collectors often have family / childhood memories among their reasons for beginning their collection. My grandfather too, offered me a big French silver coin when I was 9 or 10, later as a teenager I started to collect French coins. I also had a few US ones, from American cousins from Seattle. As a young adult I gave up everything and sold my collection. Today I am 51, a decade ago I started my collection again, this time only French coins of the 5th Republic, that is to say more or less from my year of birth... So it is a bit like the unfolding of my own life, it is very personal and affective. For instance when I see my coins from the 60s and 70s they send me back to &quot;happy days&quot;.</p><p>I am happy to have found this site and bring my contribution.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
