Hi everyone I am Mike I guess it all started for me about 8 years ago when my wife received a gold 2.5, 5,10, and 20 dollar type set from her grandmothers inheritance. I was hooked. I collect just about everything coin-wise foreign and USA. I especially collect Canada, Great Britain Copper, Italy, France, and Mexico for foreign. For the US stuff, I collect UNC Jefferson Sets, Pre 55 proof sets, High Graded Franklin Proofs, junk silver, and anything Bust or Seated.
I spend any extra money we have on coins and it is a constant argument with my wife. It probably will be with my next wife as well. :)
There are a lot of coin clubs in the Chicago area. I got my husband interested in collecting by bringing him with me to the meetings. He was a little interested but got hooked for good at the ANA show -- next one is in August in Rosemont.
