He buys coins for the sheer pleasure and memory of having owned it, he then documents the coin and the memory. He spends larger than normal sums of money at quality auction houses to get a specific coin, photographs it, writes about it, publishes it, then sells it (usually at a loss), only to begin all over again. The memory, photo, having the coin in his hands (not looking at it through some plastic slab, often scratched) and the write up are what keeps him interested in coins and their history. If the coin comes in a slab, he takes it out for the purpose of documenting the memory with a quality photo and a write up. Talk about passion, purpose, deep pockets and most importantly, memories.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
