<p>[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2508347, member: 76194"]I got bored with the whole obsession with investing in the U.S. coin collector community, and also with the obsession over the grading. I could not justify spending $1000 for a coin because it was MS-65 vs $400 in MS-64 when I couldn't tell the difference nor cared enough frankly. Not to mention the repetitive discussions on US coin forums online. So soon after I joined cointalk I decided to browse around to see what non-US collectors were up to and found you ancient nutcases here, and you seemed like awesome people and your coins were so good looking, there was so much variety, and so much history behind them...and best of all, no obsession with MS-64 vs MS-65 vs MS-64+ or MS-64*, or whatever. So I decided to become an ancient basket case too and sold my US collection to join the insane asylum here on the ancients forum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
