<p>[QUOTE=&quot;silentnviolent, post: 1760955, member: 8797&quot;]You said your Grandpa gave you some coins before right? Gramps seems to be supportive of your hobby. Some people just don&#039;t understand we who collect coins. Whether they are parents, girlfriends, wives, etc. They will never understand why we &quot;paid $50 for some PENNIES!!&quot; as my girlfriend has said to me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I doubt that your stuff went to &#039;the dump&#039; but perhaps your parents are worried you aren&#039;t devoting enough time to your studies, and they have removed them from sight (and mind) until they are convinced otherwise.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know nothing of Korean culture or if you are Korean or not (as opposed to a military family living on base overseas) but I was always raised without worry over a gift from an elder family member being thrown in a landfill. Would it be considered offensive to your Grandpa if his gift was thrown away?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I suggest you have a talk with Grandpa. He will likely aid and abet you in your Numismatic fugitivity. He may be willing to let you stash your loot with him. You will spend much more time together which you will remember for the rest of your life. (Mine passed away over a year ago already and believe me on those days when you feel like giving him a call just to talk, it hurts hard.) Your parents can take comfort in knowing that Gramps (who may be able to speak with them on your behalf) is monitoring your..... avidity in your hobby.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
