<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AuldFartte, post: 6789349, member: 1869&quot;]I have to consider myself &quot;Old Guard&quot; due to my age (71) and being an off-and-on collector since I was about 9 years old. I can&#039;t recall ever considering profit as a motive for collecting. I only consider myself a Numismatist where US Large Cents and Half Cents are concerned because I have actually studied them in books as well as in my collections, in LCD shops, and my old coin club in my former city. All the other coins I collect are pretty random. I really think that to assist new collectors is to constantly remind them to, as I was told early on, &quot;Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin&quot;. I believe the true future collectors will take that to heart. I know I did.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
