    I agree with @Baley and @BryceM. To me, there is no greater compliment about a coin.

    That would be “You suck!”

    Or a fundraiser to buy a coin for them like for @Paradisefound.

    A little bit of both ......

    "WOW that is definitely rare and cool ....... but ......
    Since you like to brag or maybe in another case on the upper uber client's collection ........
    ...... why can you share a bit of a good will gesture with most of us .... the common collectors alike by a fun give away crumbs?" :)

    I enjoy doing that.

    Same here. Although I haven’t been to a show in quite a while, one of my favorite things to do was sit down with collectors, review coins together and try to impart information and knowledge. I can still do that at the office, on occasion. I felt the same way when I had the privilege of teaching the advanced grading class two times with a few dealer friends at the ANA summer seminar.
