<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jackhd, post: 2252616, member: 73897&quot;]No horror story here. There is no LCS where I live in SoCal. But I do have a question:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>What is it about numismatics that attracts such horrible people to become dealers?</b> </p><p><br /></p><p>If you read any of the popular forums (such as CoinTalk) 99% of those who participate are really great, kind, caring, helpful people who have a natural pride for the treasures they&#039;ve gathered during their life. I guess it must be that collectors, like us, don&#039;t end up as dealers. Apparently they are two distinctly different and unrelated species. I had never considered that before. I always thought that dealers were collectors who are lucky enough to earn their living through the hobby. I guess that is not the case. Most of the dealers mentioned here have no love of collecting. You and I could (and do) spend hours talking about coins. The dealers mentioned here don&#039;t really enjoy talking about the hobby. Humph! Learn something new everyday.
