[QUOTE="TIF, post: 4026586, member: 56859"]I feel the same way about my CT family and have often wondered what sets us apart from others. Here are some generalizations which I believe to be true: [LIST] [*]Collectors of ancient coins are more intelligent than average... or at least more intellectually curious. [*]Because we're not slaves to grades and plastic, we are able to appreciate coins for reasons other than commodity acquisition, registry set competition, and hole filling. [*]The time period and geographic period is so vast that there is room for everyone and people can cultivate their own niche. [*]There are so many unknowns; we love a good mystery. Who among us hasn't daydreamed about bringing to light some previously unknown fact or historical tidbit due to researching a coin? [/LIST] Rock on, beautiful people![/QUOTE]
