Message:: [QUOTE="moneycostingmemoney, post: 2767651, member: 86367"]I guess it may take me cleaning a few before I get to the point of deciding not to do it. As far as comparison goes I really have nothing to compare it to so starting now makes no difference in my eyes. I'm. It wanting something specific while cleaning the coin I want to acquire the skill of cleaning it, doing research on what I found and learning something from the experience. I hear you that it was better pickins a few years ago, but I'm still going to give it a shot. I figured picking one of a couple types, and five of another, would be a decent start. I didn't want to buy a lot and end up with multiples, so worst case, I may have 5 of the same medieval coin. Oh well, I've wasted my money and time on worse. And as far as time goes, as long as you are actually doing what you could that's better than something you'd rather not, good for you. Most people spend 8+ hours a day doing something they'd rather not or, even worse, something that doesn't matter. I enjoy learning and a challenge. I also enjoy an ice cream cone every once in a while. An ice cream cone can bring momentary pleasure and then it's gone. Does that make it a horrible investment? I say no. At least with cleaning a coin it's still there when the funs been had and if the most I lost was $12...hm. Again, I've spent way more on way worse.[/QUOTE]
