Is there a problem with that? Are coin collectors only considered to accrue experience when they can afford to spend $$$$ on coins?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Not really. I didn’t really start aggressively learning until about 5 years ago when I joined online forums and realized just how much I didn’t know (and there is still a lot to learn; numismatics is a never-ending subject). But I learn very quickly. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
