<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BostonCoins, post: 1864055, member: 34720&quot;]To Coleguy.... Your words:</p><p><br /></p><p><i>&quot;Just because some people are either too dumb to tell the difference between cheap fakes and the real thing, or just dont have the basic will to care either way, doesn&#039;t make it right.&quot;</i></p><p><br /></p><p>I find this statement very crude and ignorant on it&#039;s face. Not everyone is a coin expert. Not everyone can spend endless hours pouring over book after book, picture after picture to become an &#039;expert&#039; as you say. To say someone is &#039;too dumb&#039; to know any better is very rude and uncalled for. </p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t ever forget, most people start collecting coins for the love of it. Most start off with the easy stuff.... Lincolns... Roosies.. what have you. Later on, when the finances allow, most people grow their collection. </p><p><br /></p><p>MANY MANY MANY people buy coins early in their collecting lives without any knowledge what so ever. Yes.. people get duped... Yes... people purchase coins they later regret.... However... that doesn&#039;t make them &#039;too dumb&#039;. They have not learned about the craft enough... That I agree on.... but to outright call someone DUMB is horrible.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am a robotics teacher. I&#039;ve had just over 15,000 students come through my classrooms over the past 20 years. I think I know a thing or two about a person&#039;s ability to learn.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my two cents. Sorry for venting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
