<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chip, post: 784007, member: 19122&quot;]As a novice collector, I will say some of what I brought away from this report.</p><p><br /></p><p>One the passion for coins makes me realize how UNappreciative I am of the beauty and art of coins in comparison to the OP, I mean I like them, I spend time on them, I think about them at sundry times during the day, but I am a coin midget next to some of the collectors we have here on cointalk.</p><p><br /></p><p>Two, I like how despite the enthusiasm for the coins seen, the Op was able to take time, to compare, to mull over possibilities, this is a trait I have to learn to emulate, I probably would not have made it once around the bourse before I was tapped out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Three, the cameraderie of collectors, the meetings, the mentoring, the advice, the knowledge passed, this is another aspect of coin collecting that increases the pleasure, instead of looking at the whole business as some sort of adversarial game, where sellers are pitted against buyers, there is a genuine sharing of the fun of numismatics.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the report, our local area has another show in a few weeks, I will see if I am able to put some of these things into practice myself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
