<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blissskr, post: 2578045, member: 34882&quot;]To be fair to newbies they are often ignorant of coins and the minting process and it&#039;s usually curiosity that brings them here, which is a good thing. Now I know that some of the threads seem very trollish and probably are but gotta take the good with the bad. I think sometimes it&#039;s pretty off putting the way threads are responded to by those with knowledge; versus those without who post here seeking advice. Whether or not they then listen to that advice plays a large role however but becoming defensive is human nature and no one wants their &#039;windfall&#039; to end up being nothing.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I first joined here I had very vague knowledge coins as I had a coin collection and went metal detecting with my father as a kid but never really took a vested interest in the hobby. I believe I first posted here seeking to confirm if a nickel found in circulation was a proof coin. Although to those with knowledge many of the new poster threads here can be head scratchers. I think largely because people often forget a time when they may have been just as ignorant, I know I was. Although tedious it&#039;s akin to searching pocket change, you may have to sift through hundreds if not thousands of coins before finding that diamond in the rough.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
