<p>[QUOTE="The Penny Lady®, post: 1243598, member: 16948"]Lance, I can honestly say that the only thing that changed was that I am more serious about coins meaning that I pay closer attention to everything - auctions, prices, market ups and downs, what's selling and not, innovations, technology, listen to experts, network more, etc. So if that's what you mean by perspective, then yes it did change, but in my opinion, it changed for the better. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course it is more "work," but I truly love the "work"! I love the learning, the networking, the shows, the buying/selling, the customers, all of it. I love being fully immersed in coins, rather than only peripherally involved as I was when I was only a collector and/or a parttime dealer. Maybe I am "not normal" but I just want others to know that they too can be "not normal" by being happy and successful in a hobby/business.</p><p><br /></p><p>p.s. Oh, and Lance, I did take your "not normal" comment as a compliment, especially because you are one of the kindest and nicest people I know in this business/hobby and I can't imagine you being unkind to anyone!</p><p><br /></p><p>p.p.s.
