<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 6628, member: 487&quot;]I am sure that most collectors have had simular experiences with non-collectors. The kind of person who is absolutely shocked that you would pay so much for a particular coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yesterday evening, a staff member and myself were contacted by an ederly woman who heard we were paying X amount for wheat cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>When we sat at her table and found she was in possession of an almost full bag of steel cents, we got excited. After quoting a good price for the coins, this lady laughed so hard I wondered if she might laugh herself into a heart attack. </p><p>After a few minutes of good hearty laughter, she proceeded to call her neighbor to share in the fun. </p><p><br /></p><p>Soon they were both sitting in front of us having a good laugh. </p><p><br /></p><p>The seller explained to us that she had collected these coins in her youth because they were the only different cent she had ever seen. </p><p><br /></p><p>We took some time showing her different coins and a copy of CoinWorld. She was so amazed at the prices of what certain coins were bringing. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes we as dealers and collectors forget that not everyone collects coins. They get as much enjoyment in laughing at us, as we do in studying coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>So take some time and share your hobby with others. Even the ones that laugh at you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
