<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 8002191, member: 19250&quot;]I can somewhat understand why one cannot not find something that is rare...but those who have larger mintages ...it must just be luck....on the coin gods screwing with you! </p><p><br /></p><p>Rare specimens do surface at time with older collectors dying off.....I know of two cases this year where a dealer friend got 2 huge collections due to covid losses. </p><p>For my friend it was a doubled edge sword loosing a customer ,yet getting the spoils....so to speak.</p><p>I particularly dont like hearing of a loss for many reasons....most of all the lifes work of another collector now being broken up.... but again the circle of life ,allowing all those specimens to again be released to find another collection to become a part of....only to begin the circle once again.</p><p>Our hobby has given me such pleasure since the age of 7.My only wish is when I do pass is that my coins do find another collector who will enjoy them as much as I have in my lifetime.</p><p>There are so many things that do divide us....but the passion and love of this hobby is the glue that bonds us! That to me speaks volumes about how important this hobby is to so many of us...And how we the keepers cannot allow it to die along with us.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
