<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2475576, member: 112&quot;]In all honesty I don&#039;t think people not immediately recognizing what the problem was with this coin, the most obvious problem anyway, had anything to do their needing glasses. Rather it was a problem of them not know knowing what they were seeing when they saw it. In other words the problem was a lack of knowledge and experience, a lack of familiarity with the subject at hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>This problem is a whole lot more common than most people seem to think. I&#039;ve seen it on every coin forum I&#039;ve ever visited, at coin shows, in coin shops - pretty much everywhere. And quite often I&#039;ve seen it in people who really do think they know what they are doing. Problem is - they don&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now is that rude to say that ? No, but it is blunt. It is the brutal truth. An whether or not most realize it, they are being done a favor when someone points it out to them.</p><p><br /></p><p>If doing that hurts your feelings, well, sorry about that. But what would you prefer ? To go on not knowing, perhaps making huge and costly mistakes because you don&#039;t know, or to have hurt feelings and actually learn something as a result of it ? Something that will not only increase your knowledge but save you money.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know about you, but I sure know which one I&#039;d prefer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
