Selling coins became a hobby of my sons when he saw that I had a big collection stored away from when I was his age. I had almost forgotten about it until my parents moved from my family home to a new condo and cleaned out the attic. They told me that I should check into selling coins that were in it because they might actually be worth something now. They knew that when I was young and collecting them that they were just everyday coins but now that it is forty years later, they thought they could possibly have some value.

When I was collecting when I was about twelve the thought to sell coins from my huge collection had never crossed my mind. I just liked finding different coins of different years and from different countries too. I remember making a list of all the countries and trying to get coins from everyone. I did not even come close but my son and I might have to start working on that list again.

So after taking the collection of mine and actually hoping to sell coins from it to start collecting from all the countries, if has brought my son and I together doing something that we both truly enjoy.
