<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4457587, member: 19463"]It remains to be seen how 'all this' will affect the survivors. I have a distant cousin who is a respiratory unit nurse (prime time) who has had to get used to some patients not making it. She was able to do that realizing that most of her patients did survive and be discharged. The news covered the story of a doctor who committed suicide because she could not. One job we have is to make sure that life is worth living when this calms down. For some of us, the coins play a part in that. That may not be high minded but it is a fact.</p><p><br /></p><p>For years I collected Roman coins almost exclusively but in 1997 I started my website and started expanding my interests. I now collect things I like almost exclusively struck/hammered without machinery. I did buy one half dime because I thought it was cool that it did not say 5 cents instead but that was over 10 years ago and US has not tempted me since. So far this year I bought eleven coins: 3 Imperial, 1 Republican, 2 Greek, 1 Byzantine, 1 Parthian, 2 Sasanian and 1 Armenian. All have been shown on CT. I regret there have been no Provincials and that keeps me from saying I am balanced. I am not a specialist to the point that I will not look at other coins. If not for the cancellation of three coin shows I planned to attend, I would probably have four or five times as many coins. I am looking forward to normal days, as are we all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
