<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Colonialjohn, post: 2680225, member: 57741&quot;]Its an interesting and very important question. But you WILL NOT get the answer in this forum on its accuracy. 20-30 years ago when Bowers had Bowers &amp; Merena he did surveys and asked collectors via his Rare Coin Review and such how much time per week. I never forgot the answer. Think of your average show its really that guy with a piece of paper in his hand with say a date run of 1913-1938 for his Buffalo Nickels accumulation. Most ANS books sell in and around 125-150 copies, ANA attendance is 5,000 or so per event ... so the answer: 20 minutes/week. Its important to know ... if you are selling and collecting - particularly selling. Yes - we see 20+ hours but most of us on this channel are obsessed or semi-obsessed. TWENTY MINUTES and rarely out of the 19/20th Century U.S. sector (i.e., U.S. Morgan Dollars) for U.S. citizen collectors - IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>John Lorenzo</p><p>Numismatist</p><p>United States[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
