<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 1989844, member: 36248&quot;][USER=56793]@torontokuba[/USER], I&#039;m not sure what the over point of your post is.&nbsp; &nbsp; But I have a few comments:</p><p><br /></p><p>(1) I am very happy you seem to like Gerry&#039;s blog.&nbsp;&nbsp; I enjoy reading it, and I want others to realize it&#039;s a good resource and should be bookmarked.</p><p><br /></p><p>(2) Gerry Fortin is NOT my mentor.&nbsp;&nbsp; He is a well know, state of Maine-based coin dealer.&nbsp;&nbsp; He is widely respected in his specialty, seated dimes.&nbsp;&nbsp; I do communicate with him regularly.&nbsp; I have yet to buy a single coin from him.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I wish I had a definable mentor, but for now, it&#039;s only CoinTalk and a handful of members who I widely respect.&nbsp; So-called &quot;CoinTalk University&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>(3) I have no idea why you think my profile tag-line and liking Gerry Fortin&#039;s Blog are mutually exclusive.&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>(4) I don&#039;t buy Raw collector coins, never have, never will.&nbsp;&nbsp; I just don&#039;t have the skill or inclination to do so.&nbsp;&nbsp; I already have too many elephants and not enough ammo.&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t need raw, I don&#039;t want raw.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Just my personal preference.</p><p><br /></p><p>(5) Gerry sells alot of raw coins, as well as, alot of TPG coins; so do most dealers.&nbsp;&nbsp; What is your point?&nbsp; When I buy a coin from him (most likely within next 6 months) it will be a CAC approved coin.&nbsp; &nbsp; Because he promotes raw, I shouldn&#039;t like him or buy from him? This somehow makes me a hypocrite?&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>(6) Gerry keeps all his coins in a bank vault, not only his most valuable coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; Most dealers keep all their inventory in a bank vault.&nbsp;&nbsp; What is your point?&nbsp; &nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>(7) <b>I concur with you</b>:&nbsp; You and I likely agree on more than we think we do.&nbsp;&nbsp; But since you and I are unable to communicate in a manner that the other understands, I don&#039;t think we&#039;ll ever nail down the specifics of what we agree on and disagree on.&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie87" alt=":sorry:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
