<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom B, post: 1496088, member: 11854&quot;]Well, I think there are really two issues to address here.&nbsp; The first is the question of if coin collecting <i>attracts </i> people who are inherently anti-social and the second is the question if coin collecting <i>makes </i> someone anti-social who would otherwise be considered social.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do strongly believe that there are certain personality types that fall into coin collecting more than other endeavors and these likely include folks who appreciate art and history, who are good with numbers and who are highly analytical.&nbsp; Please note that I do not believe <i>everyone </i> who participates in the hobby-industry falls into these personality types, but I do believe that these traits are over-represented in the hobby-industry when compared to society as an entity.&nbsp; However, the ability to be social or anti-social?&nbsp; I don&#039;t know.&nbsp; As an example, I am quite skilled in small talk, but I was a Richard Cranium well before I was interested in coins.&nbsp; So, what does that mean?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
