<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2337662, member: 71723&quot;]What YOU need to understand is that for SOME so-called collectors here, their powers of observation and concern don&#039;t exceed &quot;Is it silver?&quot; and &quot;Is it gold?&quot; They treat every coin post-1964 (or the odd late 60&#039;s Kennedy) as if it were a leper. They are missing a great deal of the point of true numismatics. It&#039;s not about elements or turning a quick profit (sorry, flippers, it just ISN&#039;T!) The ANA&#039;s logo displays the Lamp of Knowledge, and their motto is &quot;De Profundis&quot;, which translates to &quot;From the depths&quot;, in the academic or studying sense of the term. Numismatics is DIMINISHED by quick buck artists and flim-flam men, which it attracts in horrendous quantities. SOME of these flim-flam men call themselves &quot;dealers&quot;. &quot;Wheeler-dealers&quot; is more like it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
