    Not so famous quotes but maybe should be.

    "...Here's a hobby that's worth anybody's time; collecting money." - - -Mr. Milburn Drysdale, banker, on The Beverly Hillbillies
    .
    .
    Mr. Drysdale: "This collection belongs to a friend of mine. You see that dime? He paid $12,000 dollars for that."

    Jed Clampett: "He got slickered. A dime is only worth ten cents."
    .
    .
    .

    The episode is viewable in this post by Frankcoins on the "Jed Clampett on (stamp and) coin collecting" thread.

    There is no Santa Claus in numismatics.

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
