Message:: [QUOTE="torontokuba, post: 2057081, member: 56793"]Since, "what is best for one person is not necessarily what is best for another" and since Mr. Rick Tomaska was bright enough to see the progress back in 2002, maybe the old phrase "Buy the book, then the coin!" needs a facelift, an update if you will, into the 21st century? The desired result is not the same. I was able to put my Franklin Half funds entirely into coins, I collect coins, the educational tools were already there, fruits of a collective labor and passion, available worldwide. Now, I wish to dive in further and another set of resources appears for free. Should I sit back and yell at the top of my lungs, "BUY YOUR BLACK AND WHITE TV'S HERE!"? As far as I'm concerned, you can take the words, "buy and "then" out of the sentence, then place the word "coin" in front of "book". I have no problem repeating my preference and advice, as many times as you have the phrase "Buy the book, then the coin." plastered all over CT. Don't you think two different approaches to what works for collectors deserve equal forum exposure? I do. That "Foreword" in the book really appealed to me. Even the book is telling me about an abundance of resources, visuals and informative communication that dwarf any approach from 10 years earlier. Now, of course, we're 13 years past the publishing date. I'll let you draw your own conclusions from that.[/QUOTE]
