<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 7384698, member: 26302"]I would probably not be at summer FUN, but maybe the winter one. Not that I am an expert in most series, just been around a while now. Forums are weird animals. Anyone can post, so its always important to know who the poster is by their other posts to know how seriously to take their opinions. We always get new collectors jumping in for a while posting a ton of opinions that have little basis behind them, but then you have members that are literally world class experts in the field, (one is a grader for NGC, another the owner of CNG, etc). If [USER=81887]@Parthicus[/USER] says my Parthian is a fake I count that as authoritative. Many other members have similar expertise, you can pretty much close the book if they weigh in. Others are like me, wide interests who have seen a ton of coins and fakes, and might have detailed concerns about a coin. Others are newbies who haven't seen much and are just throwing stuff out there. </p><p><br /></p><p>Lots to sort through when using any forum opinions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
