<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1934 Wreath Crown, post: 4313703, member: 76965&quot;]I&#039;m guessing it won&#039;t be only ancient coins but all kinds of collections. Its amazing how quickly activity and income has dried up over the past 6 weeks and the most scary part is the fear of uncertainty. Unfortunately, many people are also using this opportunity to hold back payments even when they can afford to pay. I offered my staff their full salaries for March and a portion of their salaries for the remaining months during lockdown for as long as I could afford with a promise to try and make up the shortfall after activity and income normalised......and they turned down my offer saying they expected full salaries during the entire period of lockdown.</p><p><br /></p><p>I couldn&#039;t believe the selfish and inconsiderate attitude especially if they had the opportunity to receive enough to meet basic necessities. Now I guess I&#039;ll have to let those who were only just able to hold onto their jobs during normal times, go. Times like these make one realise how selfish, self centered and greedy the human race has become.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most of you know I collect both ancient and modern and much of my purchases were being held in custody by the auction houses. This spare time has given me the opportunity to see exactly what inventory I&#039;m holding and what I can part with without too much pain, particularly where I&#039;ve either got more than one example or if a part of the collection no longer excites me anymore. Many of my coins are AV so its not too bad in times when the metal is strengthening.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s hope things start slowing down and pray that we can get back to a semblance of normalcy in a few months. Many of us will have to rebuild our lives but as long as we are healthy, we can do it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Stay safe and good health to all of you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
