I have talked about this with a couple of members recently, and the subject resonates with me, very interested in your views. Personally, when I acquire an upgrade, or preferably a gap coin I have been searching for, I gain a lot of satisfaction/pleasure if the grade/price/eye appeal is proven in hand. Then I will take the best photos I can, catalogue it, and sometimes post pics of it on here and other sites. I sometimes buy to sell, but most often it is to enhance my collection. Once I am happy with the purchase, and with my pics, the coin will be filed in some way ... stored away in my safe in an envelope, a 2x2 flip, or occasionally slabbed. After that I tend to only look at my pics of the coin I have just acquired, or try and take even better pics, but the thrill of hunting the coin down in the first place far outweighs any subsequent pleasure from owning it. All thoughts welcome @PWA 1967

Wow yes! That guy must be seriously deranged, but the sad thing is, no matter how much the authorities may fear he is dangerous, until he does something crazy they can't detain him. In the old days we had asylums for this sort of person - now we only have prisons. He deserves to spend the rest of his life in one now, but if he had been identified and detained earlier, his victim would still be alive and he could have been dealt with more humanely.

I like the extra face on that one.
