<p>[QUOTE="BobDemon, post: 3898928, member: 108743"]Haha, no not working for one of those groups. I suppose I may have worded it a bit wrong, or here...I'll try again. More often than not, the click of coin collectors on these forums like to rattle of things to reinforce the idea that they are a click. A bit snobby, a bit "hater" like. Many go to phrases will be, "oh I can easily conclude that coin has a stain," or, " surely that is PMD or PSD." They have a few decent coins, or maybe they purchased some errors, maybe even got away with cleaning a coin and got big cash from it on ETSY. For what ever reason, they are quick to shoot you and your coin down. Snobby? I think so. Jealous? More often than not. Opinionated? Oh, for sure! "Oh, but I am a pillar in this community!" They'll say. "Look how many posts I have made!" Yeah, because they cant help but to put in their 2cent "PMD" comment to every poor guy that just wants a real answer.</p><p> So, if you have a question, ask a coin dealer or reference your coin book or maybe some internet sites. But many of the fellas on these forums, well, its hard to get a truthful answer out of 'em. And when you finally get a great coin, then, have it graded, go to a coin show, and sell it to one of these guys, because they rarely do the leg work to actually FIND a good coin on their own. It's just like buying agates, or antlers etc.then, coming on the forum to show it off. "Oh, looky what I bought...ahem I mean....got!" I couldnt yawn any harder..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
