<p>[QUOTE="green18, post: 1211355, member: 10103"]Charmy makes a point most excellent in post #47. When you limit your exposure and experiance to "on-line only" you deprive yourself of the wonderful experiance of viewing things that you normally would never have the opportunity to view up close and personal. High definition photos can't replace the thrill of holding and examining a potential addition to your collection. Nothing replaces viewing something that you know will never be part of your collection, but have had the chance to "loupe". At a show a few years ago I had the opportunity to see a Pan-Pacific $50 octagonal gold Commemorative. The dealer wasn't busy and I commented, to him, that while I could never afford such a beautiful piece it sure was a pleasure to look upon the beauty that that coin emminated, in person. His reply was "would you like to hold her"? Made my show.......<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
