<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 474890, member: 15309&quot;]Spock,</p><p><br /></p><p>We both have the same concern.&nbsp; I am worried about the YN&#039;s and impressionable collectors, the same as you.&nbsp; You have a method to coin collecting that is very sound IMO and you give advice to the less experienced collectors with the intent of trying to save them from making some mistakes that perhaps you have made along the way in your numismatic journey.&nbsp; I completely respect that.&nbsp; However, my opinion differs greatly from yours on this issue.&nbsp; Your advice, IMO, would be well served on a more experienced collector with a sizable budget.&nbsp; IMO, your advice plunges inexperienced collectors into a realm that they are not equipped to handle. Many don&#039;t have the experience, knowledge, or budget to collect high grade mint state coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>If a collector is a novice, they should be collecting novice level coins in order to gain experience, make mistakes, and learn from those mistakes without costing themselves a fortune.&nbsp; The AU64 <b>concept </b>allows them to do just that.&nbsp; It allows them to search for an affordable eye appealing alternative to an expensive high grade mint state coin.&nbsp; The key to not making a numismatic mistake is to purchase coins that are attractive (eye appealing) regardless of the assigned grade.&nbsp; If you do that, there will be potential buyers lined up when it comes time to sell.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am confident that most of these impressionable collectors are astute enough to understand that the AU64 concept is not an actual grade, and that they are not getting a mint state coin for AU money.</p><p><br /></p><p>I never intended to offend you in any of my previous posts and if I did, I apologize.&nbsp; Our opinions are just diametrically opposed on this issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>Paul[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
