<p>[QUOTE="dctjr80, post: 775488, member: 15915"]I do not understand my infatuation with obtaining more and more coins? At first I thought it would be cool to have a collection of lots of coins and that I could show guests my collection and they would think it is neat. But now I do not even like to show guests, because they always want to rub them, and ask half a dozen questions that any numismatist would consider common knowledge, and after this they will always bring you hand fulls of what they think are rare coins from there jobs or where ever??? Ok, so than you say you enjoy it and can pass it to the loved one when you pass. Hmm, them not being numismatist will just hawk your stuff to a dealer for some cheap amount and the dealer will continue the time old RE-distribution of your collection to a bunch of new over paying collectors, or your family will love you so much that they can not part with your coins and will stick them into a box and forget them until they are broke or dead and than the next gen. finds them and hawks them anyway.:headbang: But still I love them and still I buy more and my collection grows...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
