[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 2121233, member: 4920"]Lehigh, do you recall that guy on the PCGS forums who sold the members there a bunch of toned coins which the members loved, then, years later, came back and confessed the coins were "doctored," and those same members hated those same coins? Whether you do or not, it happened. I just have two more questions. My first is, whose eyes were those members using to evaluate those coins? They weren't using their eyes, as their eyes loved the coins, then hated the very same coins. Can we agree they were using their mind's eye to evaluate those coins? Can we agree they weren't looking at the coins, but at something in their minds that was extrinsic to the coins? And, let's just say, this guy submits to a lie detector test, in fact, a hundred lie detector tests, and they all come back, he was lying, he didn't "doctor" the coins. He was bored, and funning. Do those members go back to loving the coins? My second question is, is that how you evaluate coins, with your mind's eye? If it is, that's where we depart. That's it. There's nothing more.[/QUOTE]
