So Where Does It All End Up?

Gee thanks. Kind of like telling an alcoholic there's more foreign brands than just the domestic stuff he's been drinking

I was interested in forming a collection of Napoleon 1st Silver coins but I know nothing about them, or even if they exist. Where's a good place to go to learn?

older Canadian coins and few more modern are worth to collect

I made a definite decision not to collect foreign (I do not consider Canadian coins as foreign) coins. Its not a mistake to me b/c my coins also are representative of the history of the US> The story of the rise of America is unique in the world and I cherish that history to the extent it seems to excludes a desire to have coins from other countries (with a few exceptions).

I have a huge bunch of foreign that I never look at. It was collected when a kid. I don't even know where it is for sure now though!

I am glad there are others out there who like the foreign coins as its also important history to be preserved, but to me there is just no appeal. Admittedly though, the ancients (Rome) are something I want to look into b/c I feel that history specifically is related to my own heritage moreso than, let's say, Australia (I like their older coins for aesthetics but cannot relate to the history since my roots are in no way connected to Oz).

I am the same in my other main hobby of glass insulators. Most foreign pieces just don't appeal to me, but I do have a few for their aesthetic appeal (especially a large, purple bell shaped one from Oz - can't beat it in the morning sun!)

End? There is no stinkin' end! It's not supposed to end. It is a hobby like a thousand other hobbies. It drives some people stark raving mad and keeps others sane. It fills the vast monotonous hours between life's inevitable failures. It makes wise men out of fools and turns the wise into fools. Would you truly want it to end?
