[QUOTE="torontokuba, post: 2057260, member: 56793"]If you read my original posts under this topic, my approach is clear. It works, others use the same approach, we buy the coin(s) first, then dive into its history and specifics. For some reason, my advice causes quite the uproar and is encountering opposition, sometimes with questionable grammar, just to tell us we should buy unspecified books as beginners. I just want to say my piece and defend it, if necessary. I don't follow Tim's posts. Are you promoting some sort of theft or copyright infringement? Well, I guess you can take the topic in your choice of direction, why not? If you read my post, it does not mention completing a Franklin set. I have purchased some Franklin halves, first, and then located a free resource about Franklin halves. Coins first, dive in second, internet provided resources all along the way. I am still discussing beginners. This would be a description of my beginnings with Franklin halves. I'm not looking to tell anyone what they should collect. Instead, I'm providing an example of my approach and resources, which directly contradict the oversimplified and redundant CT catchphrase, "Buy the book, then the coin.", as it applies to newbies. Didn't I start off the topic with the exact same approach? I've also pointed out books that are weak, trivial and I provided examples of books that were not useful at all, again, undermining the same CT catchphrase.[/QUOTE]
