Message:: [QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2929441, member: 66"]You folks are writing at cross purposes to each other.  There is more than one kind of "beginner".  Someone that come in knowing nothing about coins is definitely a "beginner" and could use one type of "Beginners advice" thread.  Someone who knows say a lot about Morgan dollars but who wants to get into Large cents is also a "beginner" and needs a different type of Beginners advice thread.  Sakata is knowledgeable about coins and their values but has never submitted, he is a "beginner" when it comes to submitting.  For him a Beginners advise thread abut how to submit coins to a TPG would be useful.  But like a college course there are prerequisites, a good knowledge of coins is needed before the Beginners advice thread on submitted should be used.  That should be a warning at the start of the thread.   A "beginner" that DOESN'T have a good knowledge of coins and their values  should NOT be using the Beginners advise thread for submitting. I'm sure there are other categories where a Beginners advise thread would be useful to any type of beginner, and there are other categories where only certain types of beginners should tread.  That doesn't mean the Beginners advice threads should not be created, but they do need warnings.[/QUOTE]
