<p>[QUOTE="panzerman, post: 3305227, member: 77704"]The one thing that changed most, from when I initially got started into collecting coins as a kid is my attention to quality. When I was ten, I was happy to get an "EF" Sovereign of Edward VII for Christmas, nowadays I would only go after a MS-64 or better....so I am definately more fussy. Also, I like classic coin designs, the modern ones do not appeal to my taste. I would not give up collecting any of the coins I currently collect for ancients, I just collect everything, ancients included. Typecoin said it best, there will always be more demand then supply. In 1500-1850 only the aristocracy dabbled in coins, then by 1900, with the advent of the middle class, coin collecting became more prominent. Today, I am living proof that ordinary working class folks can enjoy and build beautifull coin collections<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
