To the editor:

After reading many articles encouraging coin collecting as a hobby, countless days, and sleepless nights of research into the world of numismatics left me with one sobering conclusion. Coin collecting as a hobby are worlds apart from the real numismatics. What brought me to this reasoning was when I came upon the task of checking 60 years of pocket change to determine any extraordinary values.
