<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1824206, member: 36230&quot;]If by &quot;<i>we</i>&quot; you mean that you and many others collect coins and not holders, that&#039;s fine, but please remember that not everyone collects or feels the same way. It is all personal preference, so there is no right or wrong way for one to enjoy their hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>All depends on what you consider a &quot;<i>dealer</i>&quot;. Personally, I believe that there is a not so fine line between dealers, simple sellers, and wannabes. Anyone can sell a few coins on ebay, place an ad offering to buy/sell coins, or print business cards, but this is no way makes them a knowledgeable professional, and the same goes for many pawnshops - there is one located not terribly far from me that is owned by a schmuck, and employs a clueless &quot;<i>numismatic expert</i>&quot; who is even more of a schmuck. Sure, they buy and sell coins, but it&#039;s a cheeseball operation and such people have no right to be in the same category as gentlemen who have invested great amounts of time and effort into honing their skills and acquiring the knowledge to be able to offer something above and beyond just selling a coin to their customers or clients. Again, this is only my personal opinion, but lumping everyone who sells coins into the same category is unfair to those who take this hobby and business seriously.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
