[QUOTE="sakata, post: 2929377, member: 23778"]Even more nonsense.

Are you saying that there is nothing that can be offered as advice to someone who is knowledgeable about coins but wants to find out how to traverse the intricacies of TPG. It is clear that neither you nor Green have any interesting in helping others learn but there is no requirement that you do. You can sit in your corner alone and not share your knowledge if that is what you choose. Fortunately there are many here who do like to share their knowledge. No one needs to type all they know in one post. But the accumulated knowledge of hundreds of members, with a few sharing part of the knowledge as they have the time, will add up to a substantial thread which will help anyone trying to get their toes wet. You happen to have picked an excellent example to illustrate the need for this because it is one area where I am a beginner. I know plenty about the coins I am interested in but now nothing about submitting, as I have never done it. And if no one cares to point me in the right directions and share some tips for submitting then it is going to take me a whole lot longer to figure it out and I am probably going to make some mistakes along the way.
