For me, the ultimate "high" is winning that coin you always wanted, during a live internet auction. Most times, your first choices vaporize, due to heated bidding, lack of funds. But, there are cases, where you end up with a "dream coin" That is from someone who has never ever done drugs. The "coin high" is real and permanent, and healthy the otherone puts you in an early grave.
Well, maybe it is, and maybe it isn't. Get back to me after this year's summer ANA convention in Denver.
Perhaps it is healthy for my body but it is downright toxic to my wallet... Sounds like you recently scored a winner. I hope you decide to share some photos with us
Better an "empty" wallet, the rare AV/AR/AE coins in your coll., will appreciate at a rate of 15-20 percent per annum. The plastic/debased currencies have a 2-5 percent loss thru inflation @ year. Plus, your coll. will give you happiness and a sense of purpose. You are "richer" in real monetary value too, as an added bonus.
