<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinGal07, post: 794954, member: 8843&quot;]Just Carl - I am already there (older).&nbsp; In fact, I&#039;d probably be better off changing my name to oldcoingal.&nbsp; I think another trait of us &#039;elderly&#039; folk is we don&#039;t explain our thoughts so well when we first start a conversation.&nbsp; I have NOTHING against a good long extended conversation.&nbsp; In fact, heaven help the telemarketer who phones and asks me &#039;how are you doing today ma&#039;am&#039; because I&#039;ll likely answer truthfully and keep talking rather than hanging up as expected.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I especially like the coin shows that offer a small concession stand area where you can sit and take a break, sip a coke or coffee, and yes, talk to other collectors. Share knowledge.&nbsp; Maybe eavesdrop on the next table and hear their &#039;game plan strategy.&#039;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just as people don&#039;t go to bars because they&#039;re thirsty... they go because they want company and conversation.&nbsp; I get it.&nbsp; I&#039;m not talking about the talkers.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Let me give you a specific example. The pinnacle collector I&#039;m remembering told the dealer &#039;they made the burnished eagle with the W mint mark in 2005&#039;.&nbsp; The dealer corrected him and said &#039;no, the first year w/the W mm was 2006 as part of the 20th anniversary recognition.&#039;&nbsp; The collector insisted the dealer didn&#039;t know what he was talking about.&nbsp; This was the 5th in a string of wrong numismatic information the collector had prattled off and I was starting to want to leave the table myself before he confused &#039;me&#039;.&nbsp; I kept waiting for the dealer to 86 the collector but he didn&#039;t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
