<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 7845544, member: 100459&quot;]Having been a CPA for over 30 years, I have watched over state agencies almost the entire time.&nbsp; I have found that even in state agencies, they are as honest as they have to be, but don&#039;t get caught.</p><p>I was told a story many years ago about a business executive determined that he needed an accountant.&nbsp; After several months of searching, he found 3 candidates, so he decided to interview each to find out what type of accountant they were.</p><p>During his interview of the first candidate, he asked him (or her), &quot;How much is 2 and 2?&quot;&nbsp; The first candidate answers with pride, &quot;Four.&quot; the executive told him, &quot;Thanks.&quot; And the candidate was ushered to the door.</p><p>The executive then interviewed the next candidate and asked him, &quot;How much is 2 and 2.&quot;&nbsp; The second candidate proudly answered, &quot;Four.&quot;&nbsp; The second candidate was also ushered to the door.</p><p>The executive was getting disappointed, but he had one more candidate to interview.&nbsp; As with the previous candidates, he asked the same question, &quot;How much is 2 and 2?&quot;&nbsp; The third candidate took a little time to think about it.&nbsp; He finally decided, &quot;How much do you want it to be?&quot;</p><p>The executive was so excited that he jump out of his chair and told the candidate, &quot;You&#039;ve got the job.&quot;</p><p>I have decided that coin collecting is similar to the answer of the third candidate.&nbsp; Each coin we have is worth what we want it to be.&nbsp; We do not need to worry about the grading and other collectors value system.&nbsp; Our coins are worth what we want them to be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
