[QUOTE="CarlWohlforth, post: 1061, member: 56"]I collected when I was a child. I found coins from circulation to put in Whitman folders. I also received a gift or two. Then the hobby got left behind sometime early in high school... Several years back I wandered into a coin shop. Many of the high quality older coins looked cool to me and I started buying and learning. I wanted a date/MM set of Mercury dimes. I wanted a date/MM set of Buffalo nickels. I wanted a set of DMPL Morgans. I wanted gold. After buying a bunch of coins I realized I couldn't finish all those things. I also became more and more attracted to the cameo look of the Morgans. I wanted to build a finest set of something and learned about the Registry set program. I decided Cameo Proof Jefferson nickels was the way to go. They are attractive to me and seemed unpopular. Proof Jefferson nickels was my first set I ever actually completed. Now I am working on a type set. I get to learn about each type of coin. As I still love cameo proof coins my set goes slowly. I have sold off the Mercurys, Morgans and other things so I can afford to focus on my type set.[/QUOTE]
