<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ag76, post: 3381786, member: 100584&quot;]Just 2 months ago I started revisiting this hobby after having abandoned it ~25 years ago. My 8-year-old daughter&#039;s interest rekindled mine, although hers has since waned somewhat (she skips easily from interest to interest at her age). She still wants to look at anything I get and put things in her books, but she doesn&#039;t want to search change or go to the local shop.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first thing I did two months ago was to try to rebuild the collection from my childhood that was mostly ransacked by my younger brother for 7-11 money. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Wheat cents, Buff nicks, Merc dimes, Washington quarters, LW halves, Peace dollars. Fill the holes. Then I took a breath and did more research and realized what I <i>really</i> wanted to do was to have some beautiful type coins with intrinsic value from around the world. So I&#039;m slowly working on that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Apart from enjoying the aesthetics of the coins themselves, what I enjoy most is the feeling of exercising judgment: examining, valuing, deciding. Where would this coin grade? What would it normally sell for? What could I pay to get a good deal on it? [USER=76863]@baseball21[/USER] would hate my, err, &quot;Scottish&quot; approach to buying coins, but that&#039;s a big part of the enjoyment for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
