I'm a collector, I love coins. I love the way they feel in my hands. I like their design, the reflective fields, the cameo contrast. I like the sound they make on a table and I can tell a silver coin from a clad coin from the feel of it. I love the history and the different designs, the earlier the better. I once loved Libertyhead dollars or "Morgan" dollars as much I had the entire run except for the 1895 proof but am now into half dimes and anything before 1830.
What do you collect? Dust?
