<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vegas Vic, post: 2052628, member: 58810&quot;]Please quote my prior posts where I say anything about books being stupid or that I don&#039;t want to be educated. If it is easier for you to do you could cut and paste where I said any of those things. But I can save you the trouble. I never said anything about not knowing about coins being good. My only point is that I think very small purchases of coins made concurrently with the books you are reading can be more educational. </p><p><br /></p><p>Imagine. You are the beginner and started with Morgan&#039;s. As you read your book you glance every now and then at the pcgs ms 62 1881s Morgan you bought for $42 at Apmex. Read a paragraph, glance at the hair. Another paragraph, the tail feathers. This is how I do coins. I like to hold one while learning so I can look at the real thing for reference. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t look down on people who buy low value coins. But at this point in my life I probably do have what most would call a nice collection. Please feel free to look for yourself. I start posting coins on page 7 and 8 and I believe quite a few further in. I understand you are having technical difficulties so I will try to help as much as I can. I don&#039;t expect you to know what a pattern is but I&#039;m happy to show you a few of mine. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-coin-porn.249156/page-7" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-coin-porn.249156/page-7">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-coin-porn.249156/page-7</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]377254[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This is my favorite I own so I use it for my avatar ( my picture next to my name)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]377255[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I do expect you to know what a mint state svdb penny is though.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]377256[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Um I didn&#039;t know we were here to directly compete. I come here to talk and learn about coins. But if you want to get into a &quot;who makes more money&quot; pissing contest then show me your coins and see how they stack to mine. No I&#039;m not going to run off and post coins I don&#039;t own. Actually Im not going to post any because I already have posted them. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m pretty hard on myself especially when I review my achievements. having a college, doctorate and two post doctorate degrees I honestly could have gotten a third post doc but realistically I just don&#039;t have it in me to do anymore training. But I&#039;m not here to talk about my professional knowledge base I&#039;m here to talk coins so that will conclude my pissing in our contest. </p><p><br /></p><p>I will ask this. Why are you so angry? I said people could learn by reading the book with a coin in hand. How is that an offensive idea that sets of this hateful rant of your? </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Actually I would feel upset that my wife spent a lot of money on a set of books when I can wiki for free.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
