<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 438387, member: 4552"]There is always the possibility that any such Mentor would not be as good as asking or discussing something with a much larger group of POSSIBLE experts. Such a Mentor could make mistakes also. On a coin forum a question may not get the answer you want, be full of wierd answers, disagreements amonst the answerers, arguaments, but in the long run you'll see numerous answers, not just one. A mentor may suggest you purchase something and later you feel you shouldn't have. By asking here, by the time you get all the responses the deal would have passed and you saved yourself the bad feeling later.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Kind of kidding there.</p><p>I go to numerous coin shows and have gotten to know some of the dealers that are consistantly there fairly well.
