<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Midas, post: 65460, member: 2761&quot;]I look at Coin Vault and all of those guys as a <u>good</u> <u>thing</u> for the hobby.&nbsp; They are in fact promoting coin collecting and the more people collecting, the better it is for all us current collectors that own coins future collectors will want.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now those that buy from these informercials are in for a surprise when they try to sell their new purchases, but keep in mind that many do not buy their coins, but now can&#039;t help to think about the loose change in their pocket.</p><p><br /></p><p>So whether it be high or low leaf (which is a freakin&#039; stalk) on the Wisconsin quarter to a couple of coin guys that shout on the television screen about how great their coins are, the more people thinking about coins and collecting, the better for us.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sure they will learn a hard lesson, but I am not going to cast the first stone at somebody else who made a bad purchase of coins when I made some of those bonehead purchases too.&nbsp; A learning experience yes, but it is much cheaper than spending $1,000&#039;s on a coin that is NOT real, as with many counterfeit coins (i.e., Trade Dollars) that are making their way from China to eBay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those are the people to worry about.&nbsp; They may sour a &quot;newbie&quot; so bad that the numismatic community will loose people instead of gaining them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
