<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Catbert, post: 395061, member: 12718&quot;]Clembo and all - my thinking on this wasn&#039;t how I&#039;d use the money to pay off other debts. I guess when I posted I was thinking how if I had that amount of money, regardless of other priorities/debts, I&#039;d always have enough money for whatever I wanted to do in the hobby (beyond placing a bid on an 1804 dollar).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, if practically, money was no obstacle, how would this change my fascination with the hobby? Would I quickly lose interest because it all came too easy? Would I not value what I collected because there was no sweat equity? Is this potential reaction similar to a coin dealer who sees coins daily that it is just a commodity business, not a hobby? I think it might do just that to me (not that I wouldn&#039;t mind having that problem to overcome!).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Would I narrow my focus on ultra rare coins in certain series? I&#039;m thinking of some of the wealthy collectors on other forums (i.e. the guy who focuses on MS or Proof Seated Dollars - he has a stunning collection - speedy? on the seated forum?). So, the higher dollar coin then forces one to collect fewer versus many?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know we all have different incomes on this board and have different demands for our resources. But the question is, if money wasn&#039;t a factor, how would this change your collecting habits and would you suddenly turn up your nose at the coins you cherish now?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
