[QUOTE="cwtokenman, post: 173234, member: 2100"]Things I enjoy about the hobby: the hunt and locating of a sought after token, finding new/unlisted varieties, especially of a well researched series, collecting hometown (or special towns of interest to me) tokens, as I especially enjoy the local history aspect and remember many of the places now long gone. Postcards and old photos relating to the tokens add another aspect for contemplation, sharing of the hobby with others - sharing knowledge/friendship with other collectors, meeting some new wonderful folks, I used to enjoy (unable now due to current job) sharing about coins and history in the local school system's history classes and at the end passed out cull coins/tokens from the 1600s thru 1800s to each student (that got them thinking about the past for at least a short while), reading the background/history of many tokens oftens provides for a more intimate or different perspective regarding portions of history than I have seen elsewhere. While I am not a seller, and don't plan to be, I must admit to enjoying the prospect of my collection becoming more valuable over time in case a need were to arise.[/QUOTE]
