<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3107277, member: 19463&quot;]Sorry but some of us date back to when we most certainly did have an agenda.&nbsp; Coin Talk had a section that lumped together world moderns and anything else that was non US.&nbsp; After months of being pests to management we were granted our separate &#039;Ancients&#039; section leaving the World area to collectors of Euros.&nbsp; The World area here on CT still bears the label</p><p><font size="6"><span style="color: #ff4d4d"><b>World Coins</b></span></font></p><p><span style="color: #ff4d4d">Discussion relating to world coins. Including, but not limited to, the new Euro coins.</span></p><p><span style="color: #ff4d4d"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000">Perhaps we could have lobbied for a section for ancients, medieval and early world coins.&nbsp; Perhaps there would be support for some additional sections where machine made but no longer current coins would be featured but that is not what we have today.&nbsp; Most of us are happy to see posts of coins too late to be ancient but still not bullion made for collecting or pocket change from a vacation.&nbsp; What we don&#039;t need is drop in experts telling us never to clean coins or promoting the latest NCLT and meltables.&nbsp; I encourage those who have no interest in &#039;old&#039; coins to post in one of the several sections aimed at modern issues.&nbsp; Perhaps we should have lobbied for a section for &#039;serious&#039; coins but that would seem offensive.&nbsp; Perhaps collectors of serious modern coins more like Talers than Euros should have posted more back in the day when the unchilled and uptight ancient group wanted a place for their posts where the title did not need to mention that it was OK to discuss something other than the &#039;new Euro coins&#039;. </span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
