Collections..coins?

I work at a place that deals with a lot of cash. So I have a lot of coins that are silver. When ever I find something that is if any value more then it is fixed on I'll scoop it up. I found a 1891 dime it's pretty cool. If it was Mint condition it would be valued over $1000s of dollars. But it's not. :/ I also get any gold/silver notes that I find. Oh and apparently the $2 bill stop being produce in 2003. So anytime I find one I keep it :)

I have some baseball cards (late 80s to early 90s) that are now worthless BUT in mint condition :rofl::rofl::rofl:
I have some old coins, silver dimes and quarters that are in bad shape though.
My wife would say ammo :D, I have roughly 50,000 rounds:oops: Some I dont even own guns for but I can always trade :gj:
Also as a mechanic, tools................ lots and lots of tools :gj:

Dude youre not alone, except i obsess over the dates of any coins. Im pretty sure its: Silver coins made before 1964 are 90% silver and 10% copper and pennies before 1980 or 1985 are 90% copper. I always save all of them.

I inherited a coin collection thanks to my grandpa. Mostly civil war and newer era. Nothing too old.

I have some coins, mostly what has been given to me by family members, but nothing that I personally am actively investing in and collecting. I also have a rather large model horse collection. The majority of those model horses are completely worthless, but I have a couple "high end" models. They aren't anything I would ever be able to get thousands of dollars for, but considering what I spent I can, even in this economy, get some return (at least double what I paid, which depending on the buyer and where I sell, could mean I get $300-500 back, still not something you could live off, but better than nothing). The key with the model horses is knowing which ones are the more highly valued, collectible models, having the money to buy them when available (need to spend money to make money), and even having just a little bit of luck (most of the higher valued models I have were sold via a lottery/raffle system, so you had to be one of a few lucky "winners" to even be given the opportunity to purchase). Not anything I would recommend considering as a real money maker, it started out as more of a hobby I enjoyed. (It has been several years since I really seriously added to my collection. At some point I'll be set up in my home to display my models, at which time I will go through my collection and weed out the truly worthless ones from the valuable ones from the ones I just like.)

I have a rather extensive heroclix collection.

I collect Antique paper US money..I love looking at bits of history and wondering what it might have bought, or who's pocket book it was in. I at one time had a 2 pound 3 pence note printed but the Franklin and Hall printing company dated 1771. It makes me like a little kid to know that I had a piece of paper that Ben Franklin held and who knows who else, Maybe it was used to buy the ink that wrote the Declaration Of Independence or paid for something simple like a new horse for the General Washington.. Just fun imagine.

When I was younger I used to collect coins. I had a lot of the silver pennies and mercury dimes I got from my dad and some other assorted old or foreign coins, nothing too valuable. As I got older I kinna lost interest but I've still got em somewhere.

I keep waiting for one of you to fess up and tell us about your Beanie Baby collection :giggle:
