<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tonphil1960, post: 26171, member: 1629&quot;]<b>Serious ?</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I had to put my two cents in here again. Serious?? many collectors are serious, I agree with pcrndndave, you do not have to spend 40 hours a week to be serious, there are collectors that spend very small amounts on coins and are serious collectors. I consider myself a serious collector, I have goals in mind and am proceding to reach them.</p><p>One of my other hobbies is scale model building, there are guys who buy hundreds of dollars worth of aftermarket accy&#039;s to make their build more like the real thing, and there are guys who build out of the box, which one is a serious modeler? same thing, as long as the hobbyist enjoys what he or her does everyone else should be happy.</p><p>As I said in another response, I am collecting Barber Dimes in Fine, and Large Cents in VG, I need only one more Dime to have the complete P mm set and will go on from here to get the S and O&#039;s&nbsp; The Large Cent collection will take quite some time to complete.I am also working on a MS 64 short set of Walkers, are these investment coins?? I think not, just beautiful white specimens that I enjoy, they are not expensive either. Also I will probably go ahead and buy some slabbed high grade coins, not a set or maybe not even more than one of each coin,why? Because I like them, are they investments?? I don&#039;t know, I do know that if I like the coin and it pleases me to buy it, I&#039;m happy.</p><p>As for books and research, in most of my hobbies I enjoy the research as much and sometimes more than the actual physical part of the hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Lets collect coins&nbsp; ! ! ! ! ! ! !</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Well, just my two cents, Tony ^_^[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
