<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calumsherwood, post: 1089164, member: 27796&quot;]that is a good point. im glad this thread has caused so much debate. one thing that i contnually see thrown around on this and other forums is the question of values and making a profit from collecting. this has never been an issue for me as i will never sell on my collection i am just taking good care of&nbsp; my coins untill i pass them on to the next lucky person (hopefully it will be my daughter). another point to raise is that of history. it is not just major historical events like the moon landings or the civil war that add to a coin, it is the evry day people whose hands these coins have passed through. some body worked hard once to earn this money. so who am i to deem it worthless? i dont know whose hands my victorian penny has been through and could never possibly find out but it is a link to a time that we can never know, to people living a life that we wil never experience and that is where the true value of my coin comes from, not from how much i could get for melting it down. who am i to destroy a piece of history?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
