<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chuck_A, post: 4023195, member: 104486&quot;]I&#039;m like you as far as not being a professional numismatist, I enjoy it for what it is and the people who are professionals along with their passion for it. I also collect antique firearms, guitars, music memorabilia, and even a few classic cars, I do the work associated with it (Gunsmith, Lutheir. I despise auto repair)</p><p>&nbsp;I became disabled and was forced to close my business and that inspired me to look at numismatics as a way of dealing with my unwanted extra time. Numismatics is not an easy hobby to learn and yn&#039;s IMO don&#039;t want to, or won&#039;t take the time to learn and think a fast dollar is up for grabs. </p><p>I&#039;m very wary of every purchase I make and sometimes I spend hours researching coins I&#039;m interested in. My LCS is co-owned with a son and the young man doesn&#039;t have a clue, he couldn&#039;t even identify a RPM on a lincoln cent when the book was sitting on the counter, much less anything else, I don&#039;t shop there anymore. I began collecting in 1964 and only in the last few years took the time necessary to research and expand my collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
