<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2245674, member: 19463"]I wrote a page on my site detailing a contest among friends on who could do best with $100 at a coin show. Now it might be time for us to have a contest as to who has blown $1000 of coins that the rest of the world would not possibly understand. JA set the mark at 12 coins so part of me wants to see which 12 of my 99 1/2 favorites add up to $1000 and would leave the most of those in the hobby scratching their heads. I hope I am correct that JA would not accept an offer of $1000 for those 12 coins any more than I would accept that offer, or any offer, for mine. Let me be perfectly blunt on the matter. If your collection means nothing more to you than the cash value it represents, you are in the wrong place reading this list. We have quite a range of participants here in terms of dollar value spent. We have a couple regulars that might have trouble showing a coin that cost as little as $1000 so they might have to play a 100k game. We have others who collect things many of us might have trouble orienting correctly as to which side is up. To say we are a strange lot is understatement.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
