    Not many things a man can collect something to where you can actually find stuff from the 1500s or 1600s and afford it like coins and if ur a history nut that's pretty hard to pass up but what got me started and my main agenda is stacking silver as a savings because I was collecting toys and kinda figured if I'm going to collect why not something that's actually saving money
