Any time I find a pre-1959 coin in my change, it makes me feel good. It's like something special has happened.

That makes no one smile. If anything, seeing it removes all previously existing smiles.
Rest in Peace

Over the years, I've found myself shifting from one to another, guess I'm just restless!

Started with a passion for LWC's, bought in bulk quantities to fill as many folders as possible, establishing a storage hoard of dates/mm's in storage bins, finally coming to my senses after 33,000+ in buckets and bags all over caused me to ask, "Waddya do with it?!" Then came TJ's( Jefferson nickels) and bags, boxes and bulk of those filling up massive quantities of folders, only to sell at extreme losses or give away as contest prizes...I've gone through a recent Liberty nickel phase...(hope that is about over), find myself slipping into the niche areas of oddball typesets, working on a PO1/Cull 7070 set, a Holed coin type set and most recently, the Encased Cent...NOW THAT's one I can't seem to let go by!!

Among my other collections is one of '60-D nickels by die chips over the various legends and date. I have about 100 different after all these years.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

For me ... honestly circulated classic silver commemorative are my 'smile' coins - its an esoteric set with limited interest.

For all of you - find your own way to be freed from any pressure to somehow conform to the 'rules' of collecting - make your own rules and decisions that maximize your personal enjoyment of the hobby.

Just saying.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art

Barbers. Kinda basic design but still pretty. An old Barber dime will make me smile every time, dirt and all.
