<p>[QUOTE=&quot;svessien, post: 7287043, member: 15481&quot;]Remember that your home page with your Wabi Sabi attitude made people like me who were sitting at home, scrubbing our small lots of LRBs, feel like ancient coin collectors, Doug. </p><p>I think it’s quite important to not get into defining what is «real» coin collecting or not, but to let everyone and their little or large purse define how the hobby can work out for themselves, and come together and share that experience on a place like this. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ten years ago, the last coin shop in my county closed down. Now there are two new ones coming up. Both owners told me they had had a lot of customers this last year, and that the kids had started collecting again; both stamps and coins. We should encourage those that proudly show up with a common date modern coin in VF or come to ask if their fallen horseman bronze is authentic, and perhaps to a lesser degree admire the collections of those that are privileged to aquire whatever coin they’d like to put in it. But I guess that’s what you’ve been up to for quite some time now. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for the joy-bringers, I think that one mans trash is another mans treasure. Assuming that the coins that you feel like letting go won’t bring joy to others becomes egocentric. I, for one, would like to own one just for the provenance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
