<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bullnuke, post: 716476, member: 20661&quot;]Being a fairly new collector/investor/numismatist and avid error coin hunter I would say I was drawn to the hobby because of my cynical/critical backround (I have been involved in quality assurance in some way shape or form for the past 26 years).&nbsp; I enjoy finding the smallest error in something and seem to have a knack for seeing what does not belong/isn&#039;t right.&nbsp; </p><p>I will say I agree 100% with bhp3rd&#039;s post and the types of people mentioned have made me more cynical since joining the hobby and the more I see these ads/people on TV and e-bay the more cynical I become.&nbsp; This has nothing to do with the hobby itself, I sincerely feel whether or not I collected coins the general garbage in society would have made me exactly as I am today if not more cynical as coins seem to soothe my savage beast and are a release from the real world full of snake oil salesmen.&nbsp; It does my heart good every time I find even the minorest (not sure this is a real word) of errors in a roll I am searching, or wondering why someone would stuff a nickel roll with dimes every other coin.( I guess he was tired of being nickeled and dimed to death <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).&nbsp; </p><p>Enough rambling to answer the question No I am not more cynical/critical because of my hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
