coin collection, antique collector

I started collecting coins when I was about 10 years old. My current collection is well over 50 years old. My small antique collections include 2 different scales of model trains. I also have a vintage National Cash Register from 1910 production. I also have a 1957 Coke Vendo vending machine that still runs.
