<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 625293, member: 19065&quot;]The net has been great for coin collecting except maybe for the lack of online resources to coin values that is still the land of printed publishing... that is Red Book should have an open database available online and not just pay sites for dealers to research current values or us needing to scour auction sites closed sales records. The internet is great for digging up most coin/currency related info that you are looking for instantly, also because it leads you to other areas and deeper understanding of the interconnected nature of coins, designs, money, politics, culture and history. The internet is good for the novice to learn about coins. It&#039;s also a tremendous thing for buying, and if you have unlimited funds, it&#039;s a bonanza! I love online coin buying because you can discriminate between sites and sellers and services, &quot;cherry-picking&quot; is indeed great online... Certainly I miss visiting shops like I once did as a teen and going to huge coin shows with dealers spread out everywhere... eBay (grrr!) has become a blight on coin collecting because of the lazy sellers posting lousy listings and frauds taking advantage of honest and genuine coin enthusiasts and collectors. Yet eBay remains a great place to turn some quick profit, especially on coins and it&#039;s the only way I think I&#039;d be able to sell off the bulk of my collection and make money when saving up for a new special purchase or to take my collection up to the next level of sophistication. I feel good listing on eBay, especially when you know that you are selling good merchandise that other coin folk love shopping for and are will to pay for. You know they appreciate coins and when they get your stuff they can feel good about buying from you since you are honest. That&#039;s my 2¢[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
