<p>[QUOTE="svessien, post: 5194231, member: 15481"]I fear that what you are presenting here is an inductive logic: The Eid Mar and the NST are examples of collectors that may be «mysterous and secretive», but you could actually just as well have presented collectors like Doug Smith, Joe Sermarini, our Valentinian, Sulla80, yourself, and so on and so on. That would be «evidence» that coin collectors love to share their coins and knowledge, being their own curator in their private museums and home pages.</p><p>Our culture has been rapidly changing in this respect: Sharing your thoughts, ideas, what you enjoy etc. has become far more usual for us than for past generations. And it creates a win/win scenario: I get to share my 10 finest purchases of 2020, and people actually like to see them, just as I enjoy their lists. This actually makes me very optimistic. It’s a great, generous thing quietly going on. Coin collectors are great people in general, and quite interested in research, if you look at this board.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
