    Great idea Guy , A coin show or shows with about 20 different coin shops on a cruise ship . I think the ANA could book out a ship for a few weeks or more .

    Just think, Rusty...finally a coin show our wives would enjoy. We cruise the show and they do the ship cruise thing. Everyone is happy.

    The danger of being a serious collector is that you may become focused
    and have purpose. Focus and purpose can lead to concerntrations of
    like minded collectors getting all frenzy like and bidding up prices.
    Pricing and activity tell forgers exactly the same thing it tells legitimate
    producers-where best to deploy production capacity. I am serious about
    Anarchy Collecting. Diffusion across the Numismatical Universe. Let forgers
    look at flat lines on their coin charts and try to figure out which of 10 jillion
    coin issues to forge.

    I'm a very serious collector and have been for a long, long time. I research nearly everything I buy for my collection and a lot of things I don't buy. The history of each one fascinates me. Serious enough?:yes:
