[QUOTE="900fine, post: 390190, member: 6036"]Why do I collect what I do ? Heck, I dunno - maybe beauty, history, nostalgia. I'm kinda like clembo - I like the older American stuff, because it connects me with the bravery, genius, idealism, and vision of our Founding Fathers. When those men signed the Declaration of Independence, they knew they were taking their lives in their hands. Had the Revolution failed, every one of 'em would have been hunted down and executed for high treason. I don't have large numbers of coins... one really nice one is better than 50 mediocre ones. For beauty's sake, I love the new stuff too. PR DCAM ASEs are fabulous. I really like the trend of reproducing classic American designs and putting them on new bullion (ASE Walkers, AGE Saints, the Jefferson First Ladies series Draped Bust). Where else can one get a PR69 DCAM of those designs ? I guess I'm a type collector because I like the unusual and quirky. 1/2c, 2c, 3c, 20c, etc..... Great thread, stainless ![/QUOTE]
