[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 812526, member: 16510"][b]Some are greedy others are not, like any other hobby[/b] Some are greedy others are not, like any other hobby, interest or buisniness. Coin collecting is no more, (or less) than any thing else. You are greedy if you stay up till 1 in the morning trying to find your 20 cent bookeeping mistake. Greed is not sharing with others some or more of what you have. Greed is "to covet" always - folks it's just stuff! Greed is to taking away time or money from your family. (there was a very good article in Coin World last week about this)! If you think you are greedy you probably are not, if others think you are you probably are. In some respects we (coin collectors) are not at all greedy because we are saving and preserving items about history for future generations. We either do it because we love it or want to make money or,,,, If greed were the primary motive for most coin collectors it would not have survived and grown like it has. Pure greed cannot sustain itself because it exposes it's nature but things like history, knowledge, preservation, learning, sharing can and always does because it's motives are multifold and useful to ourselves as well as others![/QUOTE]
