What is everyone's favorite coin collecting subjects....the history/values/cherry picking stories/investing,etc? And where are your favorite places you go to get you favorite coin collecting content (besides here of course! ) As a newbie myself, I am very interested in what makes people so passionate about coin collecting and where the best places are to get the best content around collecting! For me, it is all about the history and the thrill of the "hunt"!

I would love to hear what everyone loves the most about coin collecting and what they find the most troublesome. Personally, I am obsessed with the history behind coins. I remember holding my first roman coin and wondering what all this coin must've witnessed in its life. I've never been too much into the investing side since the history means the most to me My biggest pain has been figuring out what to do with problem coins that are damaged. So I guess it's a good thing I love the history aspect so much! What are you highs and lows?

I have yet to metal detect but I would love to start!

Stories like these get me excited! I love how you can hear the diver's voice in shock and joy through the scuba gear! http://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2015/07/28/gold-coins-found-florida-sot.cnn
