I have heard many people say that success is chance meeting opportunity and one taking action. This is the stuff that keeps life interesting. In the numismatic world in order to become well known and an authority on the subject well that person would need to be thick skinned as often people are critical when asked to change their perspective. We are more callous as we do not like being duped, even when the outcome will not directly affect our lives. As for me and the goals I have for my collection, suffice it to say that I will continue to do what I have all along and get the best coin I can afford and pursue the coins that provide me pleasure.[/QUOTE]
