[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 833015, member: 6370"]I agree with most of those points. I can count the amount of times I have found notgeld at a coin show on two fingers....and those guys had them out of sight in a book, they didn't bother putting them out and the only way I knew they had them was asking :) Good thing was they wanted to get rid of them and was willing to do so a cheap prices. I also completely agree with the 'I am in it to eek a few extra bucks out of this hobby' mentality... As for the young collectors...The only Young collector I encourage is my daughter who, so far, LOVES COINS...or at least that is what she shouts out all the time. :) I minted coins to celebrate her birth and gave her a handful to keep (along with some common world coins) and she loves them. So if nothing else, if she continues to love coins...I have trained my replacement and she wont be competing with me. My great hope is that when I die and she gets my collection, she will love them, keep them, and expand the collection and pass them down to the next generation. I wish to keep my collection together and in the family.[/QUOTE]
