<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1667802, member: 19463&quot;]There is a basic difference between the way some of use think of our coins and others.&nbsp; For the most part, I stopped collecting US coins in about 1963.&nbsp;&nbsp; When they took away the silver, I stopped even saving a coin each year.&nbsp; I have never considered selling the coins I had so 90% of them have been with me for 50+ years.&nbsp; Some get looked at every few years but I am sure some have been forgotten.&nbsp; I don&#039;t consider coins commodities for buying and selling and have no idea how much a quarter I pulled for circulation might be worth today.&nbsp; I realize that the silver makes them sell above 25 cents but that is not what makes me like them.&nbsp; I remember being a happy kid when I found a nice coin and I&#039;d still rather have the thing than the 25 cents or $25 or whatever it represents today.&nbsp; How about you?&nbsp; Do you love your coins for what they are or for what they are worth?</p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH]247589.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
