<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Limes, post: 3983627, member: 101013&quot;]Good questions! And its nice to read how the people of this board think about them. </p><p><br /></p><p>For me: </p><p><br /></p><p>1: the role of other people is virtually non existent. Not many people know I collect ancient coins, and the ones that do show little interest. Most find it either stupid that i spend money on it or are 100% certain they are alle fake as &quot;nothing that old and tiny and 2000 years old can be real&quot;. Except for one friend: </p><p>2: I have a friend who had 4 ancient coins, I bought them from him, as he has shifted his interest into a completely different field. He is a collecter, and so am I, so we meet eachother in the fact that we both collect stuff other people find stupid. </p><p>3: And that leaves me with 0 coin collecting friends...!</p><p><br /></p><p>The question is do I need to share my interest with other people. It&#039;s a yes and no. I collect because I love Roman imperial and imperatorial coins; the stories behind them, the men connected to them, the way they offer a small window into <u>our</u> distant past and relatives. It is an interest that is personal, and mine, and I do not expect other people to necessarily share that personal interest. But when I find a nice coin I wanted for a long time, win something in an auction for a great price, or find out about a little part of history which is just awesome, I do want to share that. So I am very happy and lucky, to find out about this board and live in an era where sharing knowledge and interests with people thousands of kilometers away, is as easy as pressing a button.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
