Having fun again.....the best hobby ever...

kryptonitecomics · October 3, 2008 10:18AM

We all have our own trials and tribulations that we go through in life....the ups....the downs.......the joy

.......the depression

but as the saying goes, in the end your life is what you make it. I have now come full circle over the past couple of years and I have fallen back into some of the things that always brought me a lot of joy. Everyone on the forum that knows me knows about my obsession with toned coins.

I just can't get enough color and I take equal pleasure in buying my precious trinkets as I do imaging them. It's amazing how collecting....and the friends we meet collecting can have such a positive impact on our lives....and no in my case I am not talking about financially.

The love and passion we share for certain material possessions (coins) can bring folks from all walks of life together and they can and typically do become life long friends. We morn our losses even those we have never officially met.....when one of our collecting brothers or sisters suffers a loss.....it can hit us hard as well.

It's quite remarkable really....it's a case study in today's internet culture......a new life experiment played out in tiny bits of information traveling on beams of light......who would of thunk it

So now let me digress to why we all come on these forums..........and show you just why I am having fun again

Please post some of your coins that make this hobby truly one in a million
