<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinGal07, post: 794004, member: 8843&quot;]I understand and we all want an open ear when we can get one.&nbsp; I guess I&#039;m specifically thinking about times when in the shop some seller will hand coins to the dealers asking &#039;do you buy&#039; and the dealer answers &#039;yes&#039; and the buyer starts telling the dealer &#039;well, this is a silver dollar, this is a buffalo nickel, etc&#039; and I know the dealer wants to answer &#039;uh, yeah, I know that .. that&#039;s what makes me the dealer...&#039; but doesn&#039;t.&nbsp; And at the show to which I&#039;m referring the collector was prattling on and on and on about modern commemoratives and different year designs as if he was a contestant on jeopardy or swallowed the redbook for breakfast.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I remember being more enthusiastic about colleciting in the beginning but I was also in sponge mode when around dealers and other collectors. I kept quiet and listened rather than holding fort on telling the things I knew.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While I have always said this is a hobby that takes two lifetimes to fully learn, surely surely surely the collector or seller grasps that the dealer knows a little more about the coins than they (do).&nbsp; To me it&#039;s the equivalent of going to get a haircut and saying &#039;now, this here, is my head...&#039;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
