<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2023191, member: 26302&quot;]First, you throw in a couple of insults to me from a thread a couple of months ago, then you tell ME to be more mature? Look in a mirror.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have never said technology cannot be used, I use it every day. My POINT would be, if anyone wishes to here it and it really doesn&#039;t seem like you do, is technology, photographs, etc are meaningless unless interpreted by knowledge. How do you GET that knowledge? The best way is to actually be around coins. The best numismatists are those people who work at large coin firms, who have the chance to see and handle large numbers of coins every day. Most of us cannot be that. So, we need to get knowledge somehow. A very good way is a large coin show, both the bourse, but also displays and educational seminars. Another way is good books. Another way is talking to people who actually know what they are doing. All of these things are excellent ways to gain knowledge. Short of working for a large firm and having a great mentor teach you, I have found good books to be the quickest way to learn. Shows are good, they give you a baseline of knowing what coins are like in person, but myself I do not go to many anymore personally.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As to who to listen to on the internet, that is always a person&#039;s personal choice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
