[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3118489, member: 77814"].. and many newbies post less than or just barely enough information for us to have a clue. So you end up with sarcastic postings. but a few problems: [LIST] [*]Fuzzy, dark and small images are worthless [*]Describing it (without a picture) the newbie normally uses the description they read from a DD website, for example. [*]a newbie even expects that their review of one coin to another should be taken "as an expert opinion" and thus everyone should agree with them even though they really don't know how to compare details. [*]Then it devolves more and more and more and more .... [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Many do not understand some of the EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE folks here who grade for the TPGs, have high end coin shops (just not the one in the local town), have written books, are top tiered certified in the numismatic world, etc. [/LIST][/QUOTE]
