“The Numismatic dandy”: The Numismatic dandy is a highly polished individual, who seeks not only the best coins, but only those coins offered by the best dealers. The dandy believes that a dealer provenance is just as important as a collector provenance related to a coin. The dandy looks with scorn upon coins purchased from dealers or websites that the commoners frequent, such as Ebay or Teletrade. The Numismatic dandy only collects coins of the classic series, and would not be caught dead even looking at a modern coin at a show. He dresses impeccably at coin shows, and does not care that both dealers and other collectors know that he only purchases the best, and does not want to be bothered with other collectors of lesser status. While The dandy is relatively confident in his abilities, he secures the advice of the best advisors related to his collecting, and believes that the numismatic world revolves around him. Here is a picture of the typical Numismatic dandy:*

Didn't wanna get me no trade
Never want to be like papa
Working for the boss every night and day

If anyone here knew me (or even looked at my collection) they would automatically know that I am not.

From Wikipedia:
A dandy[1] (also known as a beau, or gallant[2]) is a man who places particular importance upon physical appearance, refined language, and leisurely hobbies, pursued with the appearance of nonchalance in a cult of Self.[3] Historically, especially in late 18th- and early 19th-century Britain, a dandy, who was self-made, often strove to imitate an aristocratic style of life despite coming from a middle-class background.
Are those middle class hands?

Those are the hands that have been worked to the bone by The Man. This proves what a slave driver The Man really is!
