[QUOTE="chip, post: 753424, member: 19122"]sure there is cynicism, when large financial institutions which are built on trust turn out to have been houses of cards, when businessess that people have worked hard for years shut their doors and run offshore, when company officers have run businesses into the ground and then get rewarded with multi million dollar golden parachutes there is bound to be cynicism. But then there are others, like the dealer I know who bought a bunch of proof sets and found some no s coins, and then contacted the seller and split the find with him, or the neighbor of my dads house who mowed the lawn and then tried to refuse being paid for it, tho he was laid off, or the clerck at the store who let me know that I gave them 2 50 dollar bills, you know how those new ones stick together. Or on this site where collectors with tons of experience spend their time giving novices like me advice, which helps us to grow in our collecting savvy and makes the hobby that much more fun. So there are ample reasons for cynicism, but dont let the stinkers make you miss the people who are real gems.[/QUOTE]
