    Lets say someone would give you a super rare coin worth between $1000 and $5000 and all you have to do is just get it. The problem is that the coin is situated in an area where you will have to face your worst phoebia and fears (like snakes, spiders, flying etc..) to get it.

    Would you face those fears and get the coin or would you pass?

    I probably would. My coin addiction may get the best of me one day, but at least I'll be doing what I love!!!

    If I knew for sure I wouldn't die or get badly injured. My greatest fear is falling from heights. If not, I could not do it. Once I get so high, I shake. Not good for going up high.

    My worst phobia or fear is a super rare coin worth between $1000 and $5000 so that would work out good for me. JK - I would most definitely go for it :thumb:

    I'd have too, I can't help it. I've pulled many a coin from urninals just to
    see if someone tossed something of value. Being a plumber helps though.
    ummm, hot cup of urine...

    I guess it really depends on whether or not I needed it to round out a collection. For instance...if I had the Unc Mercury dime set, but needed an Unc 1916-d to finish the set...damn skippy! Lemme at dem RATS!!!

    :eek::bigeyes: Aaaaaaaand... ew. LOL

    You know, I dunno if it's the greed or what, but I would face my fear to get the coin. As the ever wise and sagely Daffy Duck once said: "I may be a coward, but I'm a greeeedy little coward." :whistle::p

    Since my only know fear is a fear of failure, I would go for it. Otherwise, I would fail.

    Get over it.

    My plumber eats chili dogs while .....doing plumber things...... left by collage students left in the student ghetto apartment heads after they skip on rent because they finally grossed themselves out.

    These folks are talking about a special "thing" and their ability to pursue their THING goal.

    Having personally put some sutures into colostomy bag retention situations I would rather keep my own plumbing than get some "THING" worth $X5 to the 3rd. Just a gut feeling.

    I pass.

    $ is just $ no matter how pretty.

    Not a chance in H........... With my luck no matter what the challenge was when I got the coin, that market would fall out and it would now be worth $1.
