<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 4037885, member: 57463&quot;]I was going to pass that up but reading it several times, I think that your first point struck home with me but only because it contradicted the second. </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with the sentiment. Others have expressed it also. I mean the misperception that other people have about numismatic collecting. I had the same opinion as a child. My uncle was proud of his collection, but they all looked alike to me, coin after coin in blue folders. Why bother? All the more so because so many of his pursuits were actually in circulation at the time. We old guys mention that: when were kids you could still find the occasional Liberty Nickels in change and enough Barber dimes&nbsp; floating around that you knew that such things existed. It is hard to get excited about the mundane. </p><p><br /></p><p>For you, going to the bank, searching rolls, is the thrill of the hunt. You pursue a collection based on statistically unlikely examples of circulating currency. It is a valid expression of numismatics (for you).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
