You guys are great...

I started collecting what every kid collected in the 1950's & 60's, and then traded my coin collection for a new quad stereo back in my hippy years (1969-72)...

Started collecting again in 1975 that continued till the early 80's when I turned my focus on Early American Currency (Colonial, Broken Bank Notes, etc.) and early American Ephemera...

Around 1992 I purchased my 1st error coin and found my true numismatic love, I sold all my Currency (est. 500 notes) and focused on nothing but errors (and what a ride it has been)...

What amazed me was that error coins were not considered collectable till the mid 1800's, and then sold for a small percentage over face...

When I expanded into World Errors, I found it interesting that it was common to issue new coins over existing coins (France 1701 ECU pressed over a 1694 Ecu pictured below) and numerous others were the norm and not considered errors...

I guess many in this forum would have a similar story on what turned their focus on Ancient Coins...
