<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 3061485, member: 15199&quot;]Actually a forum is to <b>exchange </b>information as there are so many different areas to numismatics. Some don&#039;t like errors and varieties but like bullion, others like ancient coins. but not anything more modern than 1500. Others like foreign coins for the vast variety. Others search 5000 or more cents from the bank weekly hoping to find anything interesting, others are only interested in the mechanisms of coin production, others collect forgeries and counterfeits, others collect only paper money....I could go on. We know that some think we are telling them incorrect info as Youtube, their local coin dealer, their great great grandmother who collected , etc. all seem to say they are quite valuable. We have kind hearted members who tend to answer each one, others only occasionally. If a member is really trying , members are usually encouraging them. But we are mostly human ( a few bots like to read us also) and when it is much more giving than sharing, even the best of humans have hesitation or is irritable. I won&#039;t apologize for some of them, they have memorized the rules and stay within them. If anyone new stays , they will learn a tremendous amount. Some of us have been very active in numismatics for over 50 years and we know someone will call us on something if we are wrong. Just because each of us is anonymous, we can try the best we can. Best of Luck, Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
