hi chip, it is the friends u met, the chat that makes it super-great. I once saw a note between two collectors at the beginning of the 1900's that said, George "if u have space in your carriage and the odd guinea buy lot for me" :) http://http://www.petitioncrown.com/images/link-chii-7k-180x224.jpg

I enjoyed your introduction, it seems to me that while you appreciate the coins you have collected over the years, you also appreciate the people that you met while doing so. That is something important to me, it makes me tend to avoid internet auctions and online dealers because you miss out on the personal meeting. I have been busy with things that have to be done, so I have put off joining a coin club, but reading your intro makes me anticipate doing so once I free up some more time.
