<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2108864, member: 19463&quot;]I suppose it would be politically incorrect but it would help if people posting on CT were required to fill out the profile information so we could tell whether we needed to be using &#039;limited English&#039; for a 6 year old (or person studying the language for about that long) or a retired Oxford professor who has been posting on coin discussion lists since the Internet discovered coins.&nbsp; I might say things to guys of my generation like Bing, for example, using different words than I&#039;d offer an English as a second language stranger who might not know a few dozen words (about all I know in any language other than English, Greek and Latin). </p><p><br /></p><p>I have to agree with the opinion that an ancient coin which has spent the last 2000 years wrapped in acid free paper in a sock drawer would be worth vastly more than a coin cleaned professionally that recently was found in a pot in England.&nbsp; Where we are different is that some people actually believe there are sock drawer coins.&nbsp; I have never seen one.&nbsp; There may be sock drawer Morgan dollars but this is the ancient section.&nbsp; We have coins that many not have been cleaned for 200 years but they are still not virginal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
