<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1667747, member: 42773&quot;]I suppose I should say that any purchase of mine needs to be evaluated along the lines of...was it a good junk bin deal? My discretionary income is extremely limited on account of having four kids to feed, clothe, shelter, and educate. That&#039;s not a complaint - they&#039;re my pride and joy, and always my first priority.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve gone over my collecting budget a couple of times and it did <u>not</u> sit well with my conscience. Anyone with kids knows that family life is one endless stream of exigencies that have to be dealt with immediately, and it doesn&#039;t do to be broke when dealing with exigencies.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I&#039;ve discovered another factor in my collecting, and that is that I&#039;m actually less of a coin collector than an aficionado of history and philosophy. The coins themselves, as much as I enjoy them, are catalysts for reading more than anything else. I&#039;m a collector of ideas primarily, and ideas come much cheaper than coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
