[QUOTE="Stevearino, post: 3045006, member: 74571"][USER=112]@GDJMSP[/USER], I admire your willingness to change the focus of your numismatic passion from accumulation to education and encouragement. Now, if EVERYONE did that the hobby would change in a dramatic way. Nevertheless three things have me thinking about my collection (hoard, according to my wife): 1. Several threads such as this one over the past three years I’ve been a member; 2. Your sharing, Doug, about the value of aspects of numismatics other than accumulation; 3. A photo I saw last week of Mohandas Gandhi’s worldly possessions, other than clothing, at the time of his death: two pairs of sandals, a pair of glasses, a small book and a tiny carving of the “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” monkeys. (I think my recollection is fairly accurate). All this and other influences have me pondering where I go from here, both in my own collecting and how I approach trying to expose my grandchildren to the hobby. Steve[/QUOTE]
