<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 2014772, member: 15309&quot;]I am not in the habit of defending Doug.&nbsp; He certainly doesn&#039;t need me to do it and we disagree almost all of the time, but when Doug states that 90% of the coin collecting community does not know how to grade, he is talking about the entirety of coin collectors.&nbsp; You are probably thinking about those who post regularly on coin forums.&nbsp; Many of those collectors who you know so well are knowledgeable, know how to grade and identify problem coins, and fall into the 10% category.&nbsp; But what about all the people who buy their coins from the mint, or even worse, the coin hucksters on TV shows?&nbsp; For every coin forum member, there probably are 9 of those guys who are basically novice collectors.&nbsp; So depending upon how you define &quot;coin collector&quot; Doug very well could be right with his 90% number.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
