<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 703091, member: 4552&quot;]As to going to a coin show with little to no available funds. There is an individual I know that collects coins and is about 70 years old. He lives on SS and that is not much when you have a house and he does. Yet I see him at all the coin shows in this area and at all the flea markets too. He usually walks around with his hands in his pockets and just looks, looks, looks. I&#039;ve asked him why he never purchases anything and he says not enough money. However, as an Numismatist, there is always something to learn, people to meet, coins to look at that you wish you had. No it&#039;s not frustrating unless you feel that way about a 10 million dollar house, a 500,000 dollar car, an upside down airplane stamp, etc. There are many, many things in life most of us can not afford but that doesn&#039;t mean we should stop looking, dreaming, wishing does it? </p><p>Some of us have had serious illinesses but we still do what we want to continue living and if not, then there is not much left. I&#039;ve gone through stage 4 Cancer and still continue to collect coins. That illness drained me too of a lot monitarily, but as long as there are coin shows, I&#039;ll go.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
