<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr. Coin Lover, post: 625254, member: 16060&quot;]I don&#039;t think I would collect coins if not for the internet. I personnally would not like having to drive all over looking at coins at shows and dealers. After saying that do I enjoy going to shows and shops, yes I do very much.&nbsp; But, I would not enjoy having to depend on the shows and shops to collect.&nbsp; I like the internet factor of anytime day or night and in any weather.&nbsp; If a seller does not have good pictures or price, simply move on to another.</p><p><br /></p><p>I put a lot of coins in my &quot;watch&quot; section.&nbsp; I go through the type, year, and mint fairly rapidly.&nbsp; Those coins that initially meet my criteria (price and condition) get put in that section.&nbsp; I may do 2 or years or mintages at a time.&nbsp; Then I go back through them later and get very selective.&nbsp; If one would end before I get the chance to do this, no big deal there will be more.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a hobby to me and nothing more.&nbsp; I do it how I enjoy it and all should do the same for themselves by whatever means or route one decides.&nbsp; If you only enjoy the show and dealer aspect of the hobby, then go for it. </p><p><br /></p><p>After saying all this I do truly love this hobby, and enjoy a lot of the people I meet in the process. This year has been tough on some people I think. Many collectors have seen and heard of others making some decent &quot;change&quot; flipping various new issues.&nbsp; This causes some to think more about the joy of possible profits instead of joy of collecting. Whatever and however you do all this the main thing is to have fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
