collectors and collections

I am fascinated by other peoples' collectibles! Cigar stuff, tins, lures, Coleman lanterns, etc! My coins don't actually take up a lot of space, but they can be pricey! I must add, though, and a lot of you guys probably know this, but that box of coins from granddad's sock drawer probably isn't worth the goldmine you think it is. Maybe your dad bought some coins 20 years ago "for investment purposes"....but that doesn't make them valuable. Oftentimes, the only person who makes money on these "investment opportunities" is the person selling said opportunity. Also, the worst place to sell coins is the Pawn Broker. There may be a few honest ones, but, well, its kind of like letting Jesse James hold your wallet.....
