I didn&#039;t think about the Human desire to have the best either. I can understand that as I have been pulled into that as well in other things but only to get myself out of that when I realized I was doing that to have the best and not for the enjoyment because it wasn&#039;t enjoyable anymore it was more like work then.</p><p><br /></p><p>@<a href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/dougsmit.19463/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/dougsmit.19463/">dougsmit</a></p><p>Thanks, it is funny you mention that as well as I was thinking the same thing. The things I am buying are for me, however I am buying pretty safely, as I am learning. I was thinking about that too that after I die, I sure hope someone enjoys my SLQ in the original packaging because that&#039;s what it is staying in. Like I said I am still learning, but I regularly browse the Ancient Coin forum. I must say I am attracted to them and have enjoyed that forum the most. Especially when people give the history of the coin and the story and the era which the coin came from. I found myself this morning looking up on the internet all kinds of articles about the Chinese coin knives. For some reason I find them really interesting. Someday I will start buying some of those. But I think I need to learn a lot more before taking that plunge. I don&#039;t think I am chasing fads, but for me more playing safe while I learn. However also going back and being able to look at coins that were around since i have been alive but never really truly looked at until now. For me learning and experiencing is the enjoyment. However I need to kind of dabble and try things here and there before jumping in. For now I feel comfy in U.S. currency coins. I am not afraid to break out, as I kind of did buying the SLQ, I just want to learn more before I do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Its kind of like drinking fine Scotch or fine wines. I used to drink whiskey, Jack and Jim Beam, I thought they were good, mixed with coke they are. Then someone introduced me to Scotches, then I began to learn how to taste them and enjoy them properly, to understand the different types of flavors from the nose to the finish. To now I have my own mini barrels of Scotch Aging on the mantel. It wasn&#039;t until I started aging my own where I really learned to appreciate them. To appreciate the flavors the wood placed into the whiskey and why. While drinking the scotches are whiskey are great the learning and the process of doing it yourself which takes years for one bottle is the enjoyment. Ok I do take a lot of enjoyment drinking them too, but you get the idea. ;-)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
