<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1160341, member: 26302"]I am not sure a coin hoarder is that much better than a regular hoarder. The main difference to me is that my hoarding takes up much less space! I do commisurate with people in hoarding shows. I can see how they go down that path, I hate throwing away anything of value. Now, those people who let it get to the point of nasty food in the fridge, unclean conditions, etc. I think is way too far. Basically I think most coin collectors are hoarders in their own right, since most of us do not like to part with our coins. Its a matter of degree. Heck, I have a lot of junk silver and better US coins which I do not actively collect anymore in a SF box. Is that really rational? We tell ourselves its an "investment", but I wonder if those other hoarders tell themselves the same thing......</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
