<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sam Stone, post: 4221105, member: 110020&quot;]I was just mentioning my photo collection in another reply. I had to wait a while until we could afford something to take better pics with and I am now developing the collection in a manner I can work with but might not make sense to sane people. </p><p><br /></p><p>Concerning making money (that is an unfortunate phrase when discussing numismatics), in my situation I would be blessed to find an occasional coin I can make a dollar or two with. The curiosities I find that aren&#039;t worth anything to anyone else I can recycle at the bank or where my wife works, or keep it for my own collection of oddities if we can afford it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I want to say something about one of the greatest attributes of coin collecting. The &quot;use it or lose it&quot; proposition is more accurate than most folks realize in regards to our branes. I&#039;ve spent several years unwillingly but aware I was slipping, but it wasn&#039;t until I started this hobby I have undeniably been able to slow it down. I have learned and enjoyed it so much I&#039;m determined to not just stop that backwards slide, but turn it around--against many doctor&#039;s prognosis. Whether that actually happens or not, I can and will be an advocate for numismatics and this forum. The public at large has no idea what they&#039;re missing out on.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you again, especially for letting me ramble. Again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
