[QUOTE="Billy Kingsley, post: 777636, member: 19456"]For me, it's all about the history. I've been a diehard fan of history longer then I have collected coins. When I realized that I could aquire coins from the times and places I enjoyed learning about, I was pretty much hooked. As it turns out, I tend to do more reading about coins then collecting them. (reading on the internet is free) It also didn't hurt when I found a stash of my late father's. I am at least the third generation in my family to now be in possesion of them. Seeing those coins, especially the 4 Peace dollars, was a moment that is hard to put into words...but magical would be close...Until that day I didn't even know there was such a thing as a large dollar...Sure, I had heard of silver dollars in the past, but I assumed, as I had nothing to base it on, that they were the same size as the Susan B.
