<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1854629, member: 19463"]In my life in collecting, I have know exactly one couple where both parties were equally very serious collectors (not one developing the interest to keep peace in the family). He collected Roman bronzes and she Greek silver so they did not argue over who owned which coin. Perhaps better is when both parties collect something so they understand the mentality of the collector even though one of them collects something other than coins. Shoes and jewelry do not count in this sense of the word collect but old maps and manuscripts do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
