<p>[QUOTE="10gary22, post: 909339, member: 23626"]In my younger days, after Vietnam, a lot of my friends were into smoking grass. I was buying a home, paying cash for a brand new work truck and keeping my wife at home to raise our kids. What they would spend on getting high would buy our groceries. I never partied, not so much for moral reasons, but that I had other priorities. That's they way it is with all coin collectors, we spend a lot of new money for a little old money. But at the end of the day, we have something in our hands. Luck is always a factor. Not so much good luck as avoidance of bad luck. Illness, accident, etc. can wipe you out financially in an instant. But coin collectors always come back. Instead of Eagles, we amass Cents, but we are searching and saving and trading. It's a passion without parallel. IMHO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
