<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2486932, member: 76194&quot;]That&#039;s one of my gripes with some of the regulars in the coin chat section, they are very rude to newbies. I&#039;ve seen new members post a coin and ask for advise on whether they have a specific variety or a double strike, etc., only to be called &quot;bidiots&quot;, fools, and other disrespectful things, and be driven off the forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t really really see that type of behavior here with the ancients crowd. I would say the atmosphere here in ancients is amongst the most cordial in all of cointalk. But in the US section and coin chat section, where mostly US collectors hang out, there is definitely an old club mentality....and newbies tend to get a raw deal/nasty attitudes as they are the new kids in the club. I&#039;ve called a few members in those sections out for their behavior towards new members before, but after receiving responses that were not even worth replying back to, I&#039;ve just about given up on it and instead spend most of my time here in ancients.</p><p><br /></p><p>The collectors in the Ancients section are almost without exception outstanding and passionate individuals who will go out of their ways to help others and generously give advise. That&#039;s one of the things that first attracted me to ancient coins, the warm reception I got here when I bought my first ancient, vs the cold attitudes I got in the US forum as a new member to cointalk.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
