do you think you would enjoy collecting coins if you had unlimited funds to purchase whatever coin you could at any time, or would that take the fun away from collecting?

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
One could have one hell of a coast to coast hunt with unlimited funds
Would be kinda cool to just jump in the car and hit the estate sales, auctions, stopping at pawn shops, coin shops, coin shows just
to find the coins that are in your eye the perfect coin for your collection.
I guess it would all depend on how you collected with the unlimited funds. If you just sat at home and searched out the best of what
you wanted to collect on the net....It would suck and be no fun at all.

Yep
out of reach for me.
YES!!
Plus, why take the time to learn anything then? I could just pay someone for their knowledge...

<< <i>Depends what you collect. For example, if you collect contemporary counterfeits buckets of money won't make much of a difference. The challenge will be finding the coins, not paying for them. >>
The problem is that if you HAVE so much money that price is no object after a while the coins will start to come looking for you. As in your senario of the contemporary counterfeit. Any dealer who ets one will start contacting or sending them to you to see if you want it. Extremely rare items that have been off the market for years may suddenly come onto the market if there is a price is no object buyer in the market. And if they don't immediately, when they do finally come onto the market it WILL be brought to your attention.
