[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 483846, member: 6370"]I will just keep collecting and keeping my eyes open, learning, helping...remain a skeptic... I know its a hobby in which many people share, but in the end, its an individual endeavor and thats how I think of it. Its just something I have done, do, and will continue to do until I leave this world. What other collectors do...I dont care much...if they leave the hobby, more coins for me and less competition so I am always hoping less people find coin collecting attractive...:) Oh, and concerning the post above...I do not buy coins lightly or quickly at shows, it takes me several trips and comparisons to find the one I want and unlike the 95% US coin dealers I see at each show, the world coin section, thank GOD, is not slab city...and I hope it stays that way. BUT...I do NOT enjoy shopping for coins, finding deals, auctions, etc...I just dont find the hunt enjoyable, more frustrating and a waste of my time so if it were possibly to walk in and find the coin I am looking for in 2 seconds and be assured its exactly what I want...I would with pleasure. I love coins not hunting and shopping for coins. BUT...this isnt how it is and I would rather hunt and nitpick and spend the time getting what I want then to play the slab game which IMO is one of the worst aspect of modern coin collecting....So I remain a hunter :)[/QUOTE]
