<p>[QUOTE="C-B-D, post: 2362234, member: 43130"]I think coin collecting attracts a certain type of person. JMHO, but coin collectors are often perfectionists. Not in their view of themselves as much as in their view of the world around them. Coin collectors take joy in order, and having everyone and everything "in it's proper place." Therefore, I would bet the divorce rate is higher among coin guys due to an inability to realistically deal with individuals that refuse to fit into a mold. And I would bet that Narcissism often shows itself among "our type." These things would also suggest that coin collectors tend to be staunch conservatives, both in their belief systems and voting patterns. Just conjecture, I know... and I am speaking from a male perspective.</p><p><br /></p><p>No offense intended by this post, just my thoughts and speculation based on what I see.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will add that ancient coin collectors are often much different. Their coins are almost always corroded and or cleaned, and they don't care. They love the history and the story more than the need for perfection.
