I have never met anyone who does not like physical gold, silver, platinum, paladium. If I consigned my collection to CNG, Heritage etc., I would be very wealthy indeed, but I would rather keep working, stay in prime shape, add even more beautifull gold coins, esp. the Baroque era, my fav. As a kid I loved gold coins, watched "Long John Silver" when I was 6. Also always been aroused by a 67 Corvette with sidepipes, 427 Engine. Well, I do have about 400 Baroque era AV coins, and got second best for a toy, a 58 vette. Life is a ball of fun.
Women/wives or significant-others vs your coin collecting. Now THAT could make an gash darn interesting (highly Mod'd?) discussion thread. Coin collecting is akin to the famous "Men Are From Mars; Women Are from Venus" book of the same name. Apologies for this post...intent was NOT to hijack the thread.
