<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dimefreak, post: 1013805, member: 24267&quot;]Love the passion Duke! You are 100 percent right using your analogy. You most definitely could insert anything in my original sentence that is rare. Thats the beauty of this particular auction. When I look at it I can see that two or more suitors are wiping there backsides with every price guide imaginable. I see pride ( wanting to own the best). I see competition ( only one person is going to get the prize). But the best thing of all is I see <b>collectors</b> that have a great amount of passion for the hobby. I <b>love</b> being around and meeting new collectors more than anything else. A few years ago if you asked me what I felt the best way to spend a day is, without hesitation I would have said &quot;on a lake fishing&quot;. Then I met a old man that at first glance looked extremely grumpy and miserable running his B&amp;M coin shop.It never gets old sitting in there and listening to him and his regulars talk about some of the same old stories. These old men really get excited and animated talking about there collections. It wasn&#039;t until I spent quite a bit of time around these guys that I was able to remove the word &quot;investment&quot; from association with the word &quot;hobby&quot;. I think that until the majority realizes that people are paying these prices because extremely toned coins bring them enjoyment toned coin collectors will remain crazy outcast. I mean seriously does the idea of enjoyment or happiness have a price tag? </p><p><br /></p><p>Dimefreak</p><p>jon[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
