Pretty much a bit of everything but mainly Classic and Modern Commemoratives. I love the commemoratives cause there is a lot of history with them. Retired, married to a lovely woman and raised 3 girls. Worked hard and enjoying my little ponderosa that has been paid off when I retired. Thank God!

I'm in jail for coin theft. Could you please send me your address so when I get out I'll have a new place to start?
Actually I started collecting coins when they first were invented about a few thousand years ago. Still have some of them that were made out of rocks.
As noted this subject came up a long time ago. However, I'm sure there are numerous people here now that were not here then so this new post could be really interesting.
I too am now retired. Spend time shooting, coin shows, working on old cars, knife shows, camera shows, computer shows and so many more shows around me. So much to do and so little money to do it all.
As to who are coin collectors. Hopefully not a real lot. The less there are the more coins for me.

Well one more year till retirement can't wait. Married for 35 years with grown sons and the last one in colledge. I think a collector is someone that never sells but might trade. Anyway thats the way it has worked for me.lol The only thing I have for sale is the wife.

I really wish you guys would take this to the 15-page thread already dedicated to the subject, which is only two places down from this one at the moment of this post.
