<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kristine Garrant, post: 8238389, member: 124772&quot;]Nope.&nbsp; I find it absolutely facinating.&nbsp; I am not in this for money gentlemen.&nbsp; It seems to be an overwhelming consensus from coin collectors.&nbsp; &quot;It carries no premium&quot; &quot;the majority of collectors dont care about that coin&quot; &quot;its a lesser variety, no value&quot;. And so on.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not doing this looking to be the next great statistical anomoly!&nbsp; I am not putting effort and my life into like that of The fountain of youth or Forrsst Fenns treasure.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am doing this cause i enjoy it.&nbsp; I am learning something completely unknown to me before.&nbsp; I thoroughly enjoy the hunt, the conversations with others because of my hunts, the interactions with people on the street, the quick history lesson that I have learned and/or passed on to someone, amd yes...the thrill of identifying a coin that has been plucked out of such a large pool and given a half a page in a book or an article online versus the thousands of others because it is special in its own right.</p><p><br /></p><p>I thrive on learning new things and gaining new skills.&nbsp; If I was too list the myriad of jobs/careers/skill sets that load my resume you would be surprised, astonished and maybe even chuckle I am actively obsessed with the ability to master things that I havent before.&nbsp; I always passed the learning on to others.&nbsp; And my very&nbsp; large &amp; eccentric&nbsp; skillset has come in super handy to others at just the right times.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like right now, happening as ee speak.&nbsp; I decided to jump into coins several weeks ago.&nbsp; My neighbors unfortunately had an event happen to them that put me in a spot.&nbsp; He had a coin appraised in hopes of selling it &amp; having the fiancial assistance with this unexpected &amp; abrupt change in his life.&nbsp; When he told me what he had been going through, just now and what yhe coin was.&nbsp; My mouth just dropped.&nbsp; I was like no way.&nbsp; Honey, that $ is so ridiculously low its unbelievable.&nbsp; He was about to get scammed to the third degree.&nbsp; On top of everything else.</p><p><br /></p><p>But because of my desire to learn coins, it put me in touch with some highly respected and reknowned people of this industry who I know will take good care of him!&nbsp; And if I hadnt had jumped into learning with such fever, I would never have been able to alert him of the immense folly he was about to trip into.&nbsp; He is not coin educated or knowledgeable about anything like this.&nbsp; He trusted experts to tell him.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I love learning, i live helping and 20 years from now i will still get excited about a 1969 D flosting roof[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
