AndrewC Valued Member United States 335 Posts	Posted 01/06/2010 8:52 pm So my son is looking at his 20th century type set. He holds up his standing liberty quarter--this slick thing that I got in change as a kid in the seventies--and says, "Do you think this coin was in Eliasberg's collection?"

Terror Of Zanarkand Valued Member United States 317 Posts	Posted 01/06/2010 9:52 pm Nah, he's not a freak, just a kid. While that coin was certainly not in Eliasberg's collection, it's fun for him to think so. We all like to think about the possibilities of the journeys of our coins. It's part of what makes collecting so much fun Report this Post to the Staff
AndrewC Valued Member United States 335 Posts	Posted 01/06/2010 10:48 pm I told him Eliasberg might have had it in his pocket, but not in his collection. Report this Post to the Staff
louie_two_bits Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 01/06/2010 11:33 pm Not a freak, just a coin enthusiast like the rest of us. You know his question brought a tear of joy to your eye :) -LTB Report this Post to the Staff

penny pincher Valued Member United States 429 Posts	Posted 01/07/2010 4:30 pm FREAK.... Just like the rest of here, we are all freaks one way or another because of the love we have for collecting. This made me laugh because I picked up my son from school today and took him to the coin store to look around. He quickly found the coins he likes to collect and started pointing to what he wants. All I could do was laugh because he is 6 and knows his own collection better than I do with mine. I need to write up a list for him now so he can fill the holes and not just buy the same thing over again. Report this Post to the Staff
