<p>[QUOTE="dctjr80, post: 781111, member: 15915"]When I started collecting coins I was sad looking upon old U.S. Currency made of Silver, because I was born during a time after commodity money was ran out of our way of life and fiat money is all that I had ever gotten to earn & spend. I looked at how Beautiful money was when made of a precious metal, in a time when you truly could hold a valuable representation of your time spent working in your own hands and not some paper or cupro-nickel thats value wastes away even whilst you look upon it. These are just mine own feeling, thoughts and opinions. But as a Numismatist I now wonder if others like myself share these same thoughts or feelings or maybe even something completely different? I have found reconciliation in the fact that I am allowed to purchase and own as much silver and gold as I wish or that my Fiat money can buy me at that moment. :smile So if you have any feelings, thoughts, or opinions that you would like to share on this topic I would be very interested to read them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
