If you've got it, flaunt it, if you don't, then envy it - is that what coin collecting is all about?
Or is it about sharing the possibility that George Washington may have touched this coin?

Don't know about "got it flaunt it"', but I do like seeing rarities I could only dream about shared here on the boards and the history associatted with them.

Did I forget to mention the education with each cool piece also?

Hey, one does not have to be rich to acquire one or two great rarities for their entire coin collection plus a lot of very common but enjoyable coins like lincoln cent wheaties, etc.

A person with limited financces could stretch once or twice in their lifetime to buy the one or two coin of their (or anyones) dreams with a little effort but quite possibly they might have to sacrifice something else.

if you ask me, anything from 1792 is a true antique and quite
rare. normally something that old you do have to be wealthy
to afford due to its age. it is the nature of the beast.

i do not see people who live check to check buying 2500 dollar
furniture from 1890s, nor do i see them driving antique cars..

but i do see them with 2500 dollar big screen tvs so they can watch
tv while smoking cigarettes and marijuana while drinking a sport
drink.

it is all about priorities. we are a rich country. some people blow
their wad on stuff that loses its value over time or goes up in smoke.

c'est la vie.

I'm not overly impressed by showoffs with coins. On the other hand, showoffs wil totally hot n sexy women make me wonder about the purpose of my existence.

What the heck , you got em - flaunt em. But pray they don't make a cuckold out of you one day.
