[QUOTE="EyeEatWheaties, post: 1158945, member: 26972"]Second thought, more about me than others... I should add this out of respect for the OP and his post. The topic. Psychology of coin collecting is something I think a lot about. I have OCD but not in a manner like repetitive hand washing.

I have been surrounded by coins all my life but since I was raised with them I never thought much about them. I wanted to learn about stuff I didn't have. Coins seemed boring.

How is that for brutal honesty? :)[/QUOTE]
