has rekindled my coin addiction. I especially appreciate the advice to "collect what you like" from some of the collectors here. There as so many directions to go in that this is good advice to remember. When I initially got the bug to collect coins it was the appreciation of the history of the coins. To actually hold a civil war era coin in my hands (by the edges of course) for the first time was awesome. When I was younger the fact that this hobby tends to increase in value was secondary to my sheer enjoyment. It is nice to see so many others that have the same enjoyment. Of course it is also nice to see my interest increase in value.

Wow, that's a nice stack of star notes. Did you buy these from a dealer, or acquire them from a bank in order to get the consecutive serials? I know my grandfather, when he was still alive, used to go to the bank and ask for $2 bills and they would give him consecutive stacks of $20 worth at a time. Then he would hand them out to us grand kids on special occasions. Was really neat and exciting when he brought those out. But then we didn't know any difference of course between the star notes etc.
