<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 2463982, member: 15588"]I have yet to meet anyone in the flesh, outside of a bourse floor or a coin shop, that is, who I feel comfortable talking with about collecting these little discs. While trying to bring it up in the past to others, I saw numerous eyes glaze over like crullers. No body else in the world seemed interested, so I went solidly into the closet for years. My wife doesn't understand why anyone would buy something, especially something of decent value, and put it in a closet or a vault and rarely see it. A collector's mind is a little strange. But she enjoys seeing the really old coins the most. When I showed her my first medieval she was astounded to hold something 800 years old in her hand. As such, she doesn't understand at all why some Roman Coins go for $20 - $40 while some more relatively recent coins get priced at hundreds of dollars. Overall, her interest in my coins seems more polite than truly genuine, but she's into things that don't exactly grab my interest like a velociraptor as well. Thankfully she's not concerned as long as I don't drain our savings, which I really don't plan to.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
