Thanks for the contest Lars.

I like to see different designs that reflect a country's history, culture.
It's not only collecting some metal pieces that makes me interested, but also the history involved.
Every coin has a story to tell, every coin is like another piece in a jigsaw puzzle that noone ever can complete, but try to see a larger section.

Thanks for the contest.
My main reason is to hold something from the past or from another country. Its interesting to hold a shiny piece of metal and think where has this been and where will it go after it leaves me? And they always have some beauty to them that makes it even better.

I had to get this one in before longnine.......hehehehe
My reasons for collecting are numerous....I like the historical aspect...especially the little unknown facts and trivia that are like precious gold to me anyhow.......and I like the interaction between collectors.....the sharing of knowledge.....the building of positive relationships.......and of course who could leave out the "thrill of the hunt".......or that last second bid to win the prize of your eye....Count me as contestant NUMBER NINE in your wonderful contest!!
SORRY BOUT THAT LONGNINE!!!

NUMBER TEN!!

First, I will say thank you for running this contest. My reasons for collecting coins are these: (1)I have just jumped into the hobby but am already loving it. (2) I enjoy searching for coins. (3) Coin collecting is a hobby in which you are having fun, but not blowing money *AND* My favorite reason(4)I like to think about each individual coin, where it has been, what it was used to purchase, and what hands it has touched. Once again, Thank you! Chris

I collect coins not just for their history, but their beauty as well, some have just excellent designs on the surface that they are peices of art IMO.
