Message:: [QUOTE="Indianhead65, post: 171923, member: 103422"]There are a few different ways that I enjoy my collection. First, of course, I like to show it off to friends and family, but, at the same time, I'm very careful who I show it to for various reasons. Second, I enjoy looking at my coins in a historical point of view. When I look at coins in my collection, I think of who may have held that coin depending on the era it was minted. Was it once owned by a soldier, whether it may be Revolutionary or Civil War, did it ride in the pocket of a pony express rider across the country or quite possibly may have been part of a bank heist taken by Jesse James.....who knows, but thats part of the fun of collecting coins. I enjoy mine more every time I get closer to completing a set or if I add another edition to my set of "Red Books", which I also collect. You enjoy your collection the way that you think is best. Every collector is different. One other thing is the more you know about the coins you're collecting, the more you'll enjoy them. Read, Read and Read some more.[/QUOTE]
