<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2295093, member: 36230&quot;]And I very much appreciate that. </p><p><br /></p><p>I certainly have no problem with one speaking his mind, and truth be told, I appreciate that you&#039;re the only other member I can think of who bothers to point out the problem with valuing cents at grade A prices, which something that needs to be pressed for the benefit of this hobby. My issue here isn&#039;t that you speak your mind, but right or wrong, how it may be interpreted. Perhaps this will further the point better than I&#039;ve done thus far: something I learned some years back was that, beyond those who simply collect and enjoy them, these minor varieties can and do allow some to participate in this hobby who otherwise would not be able to for the simple fact they&#039;re cheap and can often be found in circulation. Short of the exceedingly rare IHC, Buffalo/V nickel, etc, etc find, opportunities to find collectible level coins no longer exists to the level it did in times past, and not everyone wishes to take the modern album route. Minor varieties not only can offer interested collectors a low dollar hobby, but also the chance to enter into a more advanced area where skill and study play large parts. These, imo, aren&#039;t bad things, certainly are not hurting anyone, and should be viewed as good and beneficial, but as with everything it seems, perhaps your issue is more with the misrepresentation that unfortunately comes with the territory. Just food for thought...</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Beyond this, perhaps we can simply agree to disagree.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
