Way, way back the only kids that collected coins, stamps, etc were normally those that did other stupid things like play the piano, get good grades in school, go to the library and all sorts of other non heroic things. Those kids seldom played sports so they were just wierdos. Later in life I found the sport heros delivering mail, stocking shelves at stores, changing my oil at gas stations, etc. And those strange kids that just wanted to learn and have hobbies like coin collecting. Not always true but in my neighborhood most became doctors, attorneys, engineers and other just dumb, high paying, great jobs. </p><p><br /></p><p>The latest flow of coinage with State Quarters, Presidential Dollars, way to many Commemoratives has made coin collecting and educational hobby and it now takes a person with a little more than a playing hide and seek mentality to be involved this hobby. </p><p><br /></p><p>The moral of that is to ignor the ignorant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
