<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Skelton, post: 4408858, member: 92092&quot;]Just got my Red Book covering Mercury dimes, SLQs, and Walking Liberty halves.&nbsp; Came across an interesting quote from the January, 1941 issue of The Numismatist that reminds me of some of the things we get here.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;They must be shown the greater values in the hobby than the mere collecting of dates and mintmarks from circulation.&nbsp; If the hobby had nothing but dates and insignificant letters to offer it would not be the fascinating science the real numismatist considers it to be.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>And then Q. David Bowers adds this comment: &quot;This plea was to no avail.&nbsp; Most new collectors were primarily interested in rarity and value, not in the art and science of numismatics.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting, no?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
