How I started collecting coins
I have recently become permanently disabled from a failed back surgery. When I first started staying at home I discovered the joy of collecting coins. I found some older coins in change that I was saving to roll (as a means of saving money). I did some research on the Internet and found that the coins that I had discovered were worth probably a couple of dollars apiece. They were what I found to be doubled die. This is when - my love of learning kicked in - I started collecting coins.

That's great that you have found a hobby that has become so meaningful to you . I share your enthusiasm. I also have enhanced my enjoyment in reading about the coins, both in books and periodicals. I find that combining my interest in numismatics with history and even biography makes it all more pleasurable.

I belong to two different coin clubs and both clubs have disabled/handicapped individuals and to be honest I think they are better informed and more interested in the hobby than the fully capable individuals. they seem to appreciate the hobby with a greater enthusiasm. My hat is tipped to you who pursue the hobby.
