Yes. Well, actually, it's my wife's, but yeah we have a small one. Her father collects and we have some of his collection. Personally, I've never really been able to get into it all that much. And I'll collect just about anything! LOL.

I used to collect the Silver Eagles (mostly proofs) back in the day. I have sold most all of the collection over the years

How about some pics! It's funny that this is being bought up. I don't currently collect any coins or paper currency, but I always watch the late night coin shows, like HSN or some other public broadcast showing. I've been looking into it recently. Are there any good sites to buy from out there?

A coworker was telling me about his coin collection. He had a 1909 SVDB Lincoln Head cent. His wife didn't know what it was and used it to help pay the newspaper boy, in exact change, a while back. For those who don't know, the 1909SVDB is worth about 500 dollard in fine condition.

Damn that sucks! I like the paper currency more than the coin currency but both are very cool.

I used to have a substantial coin collection but got out of it years ago. I had a large number of the Morgans, Peace Dollars, Mecury Dimes, Indian Head Cents, Walking Liberty stuff...I had a smaller number of the Barber collections.

I still kinda miss the hobby.

I have a large investment in a small collection, but they aren't for collecting (or spending). Anyone care to take a guess? :smile:
