<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 178333, member: 112"]It was published by <i>Coin Link</i> and I got no response whatsoever initially, at least not on <i>Coin Link</i>. So, I then copied the entire article and posted it on all of the major coin forums, Coin Talk didn't even exist then. The response I got on the forums was pretty much the same on all of them - yeah, nice idea but pie in the sky - it'll never happen. In every case the thread died in about 2 days.</p><p><br /></p><p>And that's exactly the problem, most collectors simply don't care. They're happy with things the way they are. And until that changes, nothing will happen. It will take collectors everywhere, standing together as one and demanding the change - then it will happen.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing I find interesting, it seems that almost everyone thinks the ANA should be the governing body that oversees and enforces a universal standard. Personally, I don't. I think it will take a new and independant organization. One that is not and has not been tied to the TPGs for years with advertising contracts, endorsement contracts and the like. And there can be no ties to dealers either, so that leaves the PNG out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
