<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1004419, member: 19463&quot;]One of the neat features of collecting ancient coins is the great variety of things available to collect.&nbsp; One of the less neat features is that it is harder to find someone else who actually cares about the coins you consider so very interesting.&nbsp; Each of us has specialties but it is a lot easier to find someone passionate about filling out their set of MS Buffalo nickels than about a one of a kind find of a new variety from someplace and time that 99.99% of people never heard of let alone collect.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I posted a new (to me) find on another venue and received a very nice reply from a helpful member equivalent to pointing out that a 1909S VDB cent is like the 2010 cent he found in change (both say One Cent and show Lincoln).&nbsp; I appreciate the time taken to reply but it is hard to figure out where to take a conversation from that point.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>How do you feel about this?&nbsp; I really don&#039;t want a million of you to start competing with me for the handful of coins I&#039;d most like to add to my collection.&nbsp; On the other hand, it would be nice to know someone who I could show the coin and not have to discuss the difference between a shield and a wheatie.&nbsp; Do you enjoy collecting things that most people don&#039;t appreciate or do you tire of people asking why you would pay $20 for something that has a melt value of less than 20 cents?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
