<p>[QUOTE="Tyler Graton, post: 2799634, member: 85787"]Well I like to find things that look different. Things that stand out, and are questionable, sometimes I hope to know exactly what made it damaged, so I can duplicate it, like that quarter, I wonder how it got that way because I like how it looks. Sometimes the Perfect coin isn't cool enough and has no character! Like woodie cents. Those are my favorites because they look like wood. Think of it like this. If the people I am showing my collection to don't like regular everyday plain regular coin, the next best thing to have is cool looking damaged coins or something that catches he eye. Sometimes I feel like even collecting every type of known damage that looks like errors so I can teach people what is what, of I ever get the chance to teach someone about coins. The first thing you would need to do is teach them what is NOT an error vs what is. Having the coins in hand is better than having pictures, so I keep it. But I am looking for unusual errors, and I am trying to learn about the improper mixtures of metals, seems a little confusing, so I get to the point where if I find something weird that might look like a metal issue, I always want to post and make sure it's not that, till I find what I am looking for. If that makes sense. When I say I am a coin collector, there are no limitations!! Anything that sets its self away from the heard is collectible to me because in the end, I save money if nothing else. FYI I took your question as a respectful question! Always willing to answer what drives me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
