Hi @Mustang67 , I collect coins too. It’s a wonderful pass time. Is your picture of a coin or token? I’ve not seen that one. The Phoenix is a great story and many of the most incredible people I know have risen from the ashes, so to speak. It’s character forming, that’s for sure. Over at the Royal Australian Mint (RAM) they have some beautiful coins and new ones are released every few months. I entered a fair ballot process (EQL via RAM) to win some and was deliriously happy to win the Bluey coin! It really made my day and since then, my interest has deepened. I also look for error coins and it’s a great journey through history. I got a book on coins via RAM. It is exciting for me to receive change now as I study each coin now, looking for strike errors and marvelling over the differences in tone via year. Excited to find a year I don’t have yet for my series collections. Like anything, there is a lot to learn but I feel coin collecting or numismatics is worthwhile because it doesn’t take up much space and you can literally discover cool coins in loose change. Little by little our daily actions become us and I am sure your dedication to wellness and collecting will pay dividends over time and lead to a more contented life. Slowly but surely wins time and time again.
