[QUOTE="NOS, post: 3060810, member: 2098"]What you do when it comes to interacting with those in the general public outside of coin club meetings and coin shows is learn to read them.

If they pass the cue tests then I'd keep the discussion general and not get too specific. That is to say, don't go into detail about how many gold sovereigns you have but just keep it simple to something like, "I enjoy coins from Great Britain and the United States."
