If I could do anything for a numismatic career I'd like an ownership stake in a coin dealer that did a lot of early copper,
Morgan dollar, and Lib Seated business and travelling around to shows across the country getting people excited and enthused about my favorite coins.
Unfortunately I think today most dealers derive their income from flipping, auctions, and lowball purchases from estates. I know several that don't even have B&M shops anymore, having gone entirely web-based / auction-based for sales.
The upcoming EAC convention needs coin handlers for viewing lots and to me that would be an outstanding job even though it's unpaid labor :P
