Yes Susan, the ANA certainly does have some very nice benefits; now lets try to expand upon that and hopefully bring this wonderful organization to many, many more collectors who have no idea what is available.

I feel that the weekness of the ANA is that there is no widespread selling of itself. A Coin Forum Website would introduce the ANA to thousands of collectors, many of which would take on membership, I believe.

Let's help get this started, you and I and others.

You will find that often I am the first one to not only speak up on what I believe in, but also the first to take action. I am ashamed at some of the aspects of our hobby. It is the possible future that keeps me trying and asking for more. Dealers need to step up for what is right, and expand our hobby to showcase the many wonderful parts. Dealers cannot do this alone. Collectors need to do their part also. We all need to share our knowledge, our experiences, and most of all, our good will. If everyone would step up and do their part, our hobby would forever change to the bright future that I believe it can be.

Now let's not go too far I kind of like the protection offered by the ANA for those of us who do follow the rules, and try our best to set a good example.

Wonderful attitude National dealer. You are just what the hobby needs, both collectors and dealers.

In this hobby, dealers are as valuable and important as collectors; I just want to see a nice balance with everyone working together to promote the hobby and thereby increase the number of those who would become serious collectors.

Keep up the good work National dealer! Thank you.

I think what coin collecting needs is one massive website forum that will be the wallmartmtvshabang of coin collecting. With coin world members joining up to coin forum, perhaps this site could morph into that over time, word of mouth, etc.

I for one certainly hope not. There is no way that a forum that big could be successfully moderated to keep out the kind of c*ap that RCC is famous for!
