Message:: [QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 2026484, member: 15309"]So you are saying that I am not knowledgeable?  This is exactly the type intolerable insolence that Toronto et al are complaining about.  For the record, I already listed the pitfalls of attending shows and frequenting brick & mortar coin shops in this thread. Again, it is not your way or the wrong way.  There are many ways to become an astute coin collector.  And profit margin is not the measure of astute.  It is up to each individual to decide what method of collecting and learning works best for them.  For those who live near quality local coin shows and reputable B&M shops and work 9-5PM with weekends off, your method might work very well.  But what about people who have time consuming jobs, time consuming wives/girlfriends, and time consuming children?  For some people, attending shows and visiting coin shops is simply not an option because it would interfere with their busy schedules.  But the internet never sleeps, and for some people, it really is the ONLY way to engage the hobby.[/QUOTE]
