<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 649978, member: 16948&quot;]Sure it becomes &quot;work&quot; but if you love what you&#039;re doing, then even work can be fun - and it&#039;s definitely that way for me.&nbsp; I was a paralegal working for lawyers for over 35 years, but when I began dealing in coins at first part-time for several years, while still holding down my paralegal job, dealing in coins became much more enjoyable than my paralegal work.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And when I began doing this full-time, I couldn&#039;t believe the difference in my attitude, stress level, and just plain happiness.&nbsp; I am now doing what I really love, and am able to make money at it too.&nbsp; Who could ask for more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, by the way, I still am a collector as well.&nbsp; Sometimes it is hard determining whether to keep or part with a nice coin, but if it fits in my set, it goes there first.&nbsp; And if it improves on a coin I already have, then I simply put the other coin in my inventory for sale.&nbsp; I am lucky as a dealer that I have the opportunity to see many many coins come across my table, so I get more opportunity than most collectors to &quot;cherry pick&quot; the ones that I will keep for my own set.&nbsp; So being a dealer has this huge advantage/fringe benefit for me as a collector as well![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
