AU, that is quite a wealth of information on airborne disease countermeasures! I am of the opinion that if I am in a crowd so densely packed with air so contaminated, that I am probably just in the wrong place and a mask won't do much good. I extremely dislike planes right now for the same reason. Half the people I know who fly on vacation get sick during or afterwards. No thanks!

I do go to our small local coin show occasionally, but the prices were high, and it is simply not as convenient for examining coins, doing research, taking my time. I did enjoy the bargain bin diving though. =)

Sap, I think a reasonably intelligent Roman citizen would recognize a lot of stuff—buildings with doors and windows, roads, wheeled conveyances with a mysterious power source, clothing, jewelry, signage, restaurants, and so forth. The specifics would completely astound them, of course.

I'm 75 and have collected coins since I was 7. In that entire time I have read countless letters to the editor about the need to get young people intrrested in the hobby, and here we are, still chugging along.
By the way Brandmeister, thanks for the anecdotal evidence about flying. Exactly one month from today I'll be on a 10 1/2 hour flight to Paris. Good luck to me I guess. Au revoir.

An interesting question and thoughtful discussion here. I try to avoid worrying about future value. I treat my coins as a commodity and not an investment. However, I still ponder their value from time to time.

Sorry, but at my grade level when I'm spending well into 4 figures for a commodity.....it's an investment.

You can always join me in the bargain basement! I have yet to crack the $500 barrier for a single coin.

Brandmeister: You've been listening too much to the anti-mask brigade. My tests using the sprays of the sweet and the bitter solutions show me that masks really do work. Even a lousy mask worn properly provides substantial protection. Even the "lower tier" N95 masks provide substantially more protection than a lousy uncertified mask. Remember that the amount of viral load is the biggest factor behind your risk of infection and the potential severity of infection. A tiny viral load is MUCH less risky than a large viral load.

If I'm not wearing a mask at all, I cough from breathing the spray. The bitter spray is particularly nasty. With a lousy uncertified mask on (such as a cheap dust mask with one little head strap), I can distinctly taste both solutions, especially the bitter one. With a "lower tier" N95 mask on, I can faintly taste the sweet spray and more distinctly taste the bitter spray. With a "middle tier" N95 mask on, I cannot taste the sweet spray at all but can faintly taste the bitter spray. With an "upper tier" N95 mask on (like the 3M Aura), I cannot taste the sweet spray or the bitter spray.
