[QUOTE="nightowl, post: 752069, member: 18614"]I read things here all the time that make me think....and think. Somebody finds a great error coin in a bag of coins and is met with yeah sure...sure you did, buddy...uh huh.. And the guys who live and breathe for the MS69 vs 70 submission game....can't grasp that some of us just [B]don't care[/B]. They would never buy a coin off of eBay because it's been "picked over" as though everybody thinks like they do. They are trapped in their own little world, and assume everybody thinks like they do...because it's obviously the "right" way to think. I have a 1994 world cup gold that I would nearly guarantee is a 70....but I don't care. It will go to the refinery along with everything else when I sell my gold. I have a few others that probably are as well....out of 22 coins, perhaps 3. I don't think the level of cynicism I see on a daily basis is healthy. These guys who never gamble...will never find that 55 DDO or that MS70 World cup gold for 150 bucks...because they're too cynical or have tunnel vision. Luck exists....and much of the "luck" you see is of the making of the benefactor. Nightowl[/QUOTE]
