<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2280741, member: 19463"]Never is a long, long time. I still enjoy the modern coins I bought or found in circulation over the last 50 years. I bought half a dozen in the last five years. There is another difference in the way various people collect. Some of us enjoy the buying and selling and count as 'mine' all the coins ever owned. Others of us buy with the intention of owing that coin for the rest of our life feeling guilty when we let something go. Some dealers point out correctly that they get to handle and enjoy thousands of coins they could never make permanently theirs. I could never be a dealer since you can't make a living <i>not</i> selling coins. Years ago I was told David Sear does not collect coins. Has that changed?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
