    I collected stamps with my dad when I was a boy and really enjoyed it. I wasn't really interested in rarity but read about it and it was obviously a big thing in this hobby. I was more interested in colors and foreign stamps. Maybe it was just the time spend with my dad or the whole process of placing the ripped of envelope pieces in water, separating the stamp, drying them on newspaper, pressing them in big books, that pleased me. Hell, I get all nostalgic thinking about it now. I don't do it anymore but really appreciated it at the time.....Anyways I've always been fascinated with coins in kinda the same way but never got into it. This sparked my interest again. I think I'm getting older. That's okay.
