<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1829668, member: 112&quot;]Nobody is saying that. But the fact of the matter is there are a great many collectors out there who have a great many problem coins in their collections - and they are not even aware the coins are problem coins. That&#039;s when it becomes a problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>If a person knowingly buys a problem coin and pays a fair price for that problem coin, I don&#039;t think anybody here is ever going to have a problem with that. But learning how to identify problem coins and recognize one when you see it is one of the hardest things there is to learn about this hobby. So a great many collectors get fooled into buying problem coins at problem free coin prices. And that, that is what a lot of us find so distressing. We hate to see people be taken advantage of.</p><p><br /></p><p>For as long as I can remember I always recommended that people buy a coin because they like the coin - and NOT because they ever expect to make 1 cent of profit on that coin. And that applies to all coins, problem and problem free alike. </p><p><br /></p><p>But you need to be reasonably certain that you know what you are doing, <u>before</u> you do it. Otherwise you are going to end up throwing a whole lot of money away.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
