<p>[QUOTE=&quot;712, post: 2019146, member: 37080&quot;]Personally I don&#039;t collect coins just to collect them, I collect them because of the history.&nbsp; So I suggest that if you want a coin collection find an era that&nbsp; peaks a little interest and go from there.&nbsp; Read some of the postings here on Coin Talk about coin condition and cleaning which is not a good thing.&nbsp; I started collecting coins when I was 8 years old.&nbsp; I have one coin that is not worth too much but rich in history and wonderment.&nbsp; It has a hole through it, an 1861-O half dollar with a bisected date.&nbsp; Minted by the confederacy in New Orleans, a time in history when the Confederacy had control of New Orleans.&nbsp; Someone wore this around their neck, this peaks my interest even from a damaged coin.&nbsp; Coins for display I really have no interest in them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
