So far I have been enjoying this forum immensely. While I do collect coins, I do it for the history aspect. None of my coins I've bought or found seem to have any great value, but to me the value is thinking about all the people who have used them and the important and not so important things that have been purchased with them. I also metal detect and used to hunt for things in ghost towns when I lived in Arizona. (Pre metal detector). My interest in coins has always existed, I have looked at every bit of change I've ever been handed, and have found some cool things. I know they aren't that popular, but I like nickels a lot. I think because you can still find quite old ones roaming around out there. I look forward to learning more. Thanks!
