Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1360142, member: 112"]clad I have always agreed with your general premise. If you think back over all of the years that you and I have known each other, and it's what 12-13 years now, you should be able to remember that. I can remember a day when you and I were probably  about the only ones on the planet who DID think that way. Of course that's going back to before we knew each other. And like you I have no doubt that the day will come. But it is almost a certainty I won't be alive to see it. And it is a likelihood that you won't either my friend. But those who are around 50-60, 100 years from now. Yeah, they'll see it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> But that's the way it's always been and probably always will be. In the 1860's nobody, or very few, ever thought the Proofs of the day or the business strikes for that matter, would ever be worth anything. But the few who did saved the coins, and those who came after them continued to save them, as did those who came after them. And today look at what we have with those coins. It can all be summed up with the ending line of a poem I wrote many years ago - That the answers lie waiting in the echoes of time[/QUOTE]
