<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3505672, member: 19463"]I'm with furryfrog02 on this one. We do like to see participation here and your posting what it is that you found interesting (and why) does a lot more to encourage people here to give coins than would be the case if we saw the coins offered for sale on eBay next week (who remembers that incident?). Giveaways are a problem in several respects. Many people don't fill out the information on the CT registration page but I suspect some would get more if we knew that you were a new collector or YN (under 40 by some standards) who lives where postage on the giveaway would be reasonable instead of a professional dealer across the globe currently offering a thousand junk lots on eBay. I'm not saying we don't like lurkers but we do like participating beginners better. Not only do I hope you like what you get from Sallent but I hope you will consider giving a new collector something similar when you have been doing this a decade (or several).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
