[QUOTE="omahaorange, post: 1341555, member: 28199"]I'm gonna have to disagree with this. An experienced collector will know the nuances of the hobby. But what about the new collector just starting in the hobby? None of us were experts when we picked up our first coin and said "Wow!". We learned through experience, trial and error, and talking to other, more experienced, hobbyists. At what point did we actually establish that this couple were hoarders, buying simply to remove the coins in question from the hands of "true collectors" and stash them in their vault, only to go in every day and swim through the coins like Scrooge McDuck, laughing about how they screwed the little guy? There are many possibilities as to why they bought the coins, and again, did so at reasonable prices. [B]I know how to drive, but I couldn't tear an engine apart and put it back together correctly. [/B] Money does indeed buy entitlement and privelige. That's the benefit of working your whole life to make it. So you can spend and enjoy it. There is nothing wrong with that. It's those that don't have it, and envy those that do, who's sense of entitlement is misplaced.[/QUOTE]
