What do you like best about coins. Is it their beauty, is it there investment potential, is it the thrill of the hunt, or something else. No survey, just serious answers please, with a brief explanation.

You've obviously never tried taking a bite out of an Ike Half Dollar.

I also like holding pre-21 circulated coinage in my hands and thinking of the history
behind this coin. Although I buy BU coins for an investment. I really like a nice circulated
morgans and seated halfs.
The funny thing is I never had an intrest in old western movies. When I started collecting a few
years ago I developed an intrest in old westerns.
Then again, putting a Chinese knockoff in your mouth might kill you too - lead, mercury, who knows what goes in them!

I like coins, because they are nice to look at.
When you have a very good example, you put them in a slab, and you cant get your finger prints all over them.
I once looked into the deep mirrors of a Franklin for almost and hour, it was hypnotic. Right after I was done making love to it I realized it was worth more than I bought it for, so I sold it reluctantly for more than double the price.
I have found power in the mysteries of thought.
It is always a question of knowing and seeing, and not that of believing.
Our virtues, and our failings are inseparable, like force, and matter. When they separate, man is no more.

-the owning of super coin that hundreds of collectors are
anxious to acquire
-to parlay one's holdings to allow them to acquire
a dream coin
-the excitement of viewing & holding a million dollar coin
Errors or old coins in circulation
it's not knowing what you can find that is fun and interesting

1. They never criticise
or make fun of me.
2. They are always ready to
be looked at.
3. They are always happy to go
where ever I take them.
4. They sit quietly where ever I place
them and never complain.
5.They never ask for things or bother me.
6. They never sleep and are always
raring to go.
7. The older they get, the better they look.
8. You don't have to do anything, to make
them happy and contented.
