[QUOTE="Boosbuddy, post: 8290537, member: 109226"]Hi Gang, Just wanted to ask around and get other opinions (and vent). I have been into numismatics for nearly 45 years and have loved it. I have amassed a moderate collection and have enjoyed it over the years. Unfortunately, l think I have reached the end of this hobby. First, neither my Godson nor niece have any interest in the collection and will most likely just sell it off for whatever they can get for it after I give up the ghost and, secondly, the HUGE number of inexperienced (and just plain dumb) people trying to sell junk or argue about how “rare and valuable” their crap coins are is just taking its toll. Between idiots who think every scratched, worn, and/or dented coin is a “one of a kind error” to the kids who think every coin older then them is worth $1000 is just taking so much out of the hobby. When you see common Sacajawea coins listing for $25000.00 and the seller has no clue as to why they are asking that much or some uneducated mugwump lists an “error” coin for $500 but can’t explain the error but people actually bid on it, you pretty much just give up hope. Anywho, thanks for letting me rant. I found a scratched penny in the parking lot so I think I will list it on Ebay for $16,000,000.00 plus $99.00 shipping.[/QUOTE]
