Message:: [QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 3217409, member: 92655"]I totally get you [USER=78244]@TypeCoin971793[/USER].... I collected feverishly from the 60’s thru the 80’s when a twenty dollar coin meant big bucks to me. Took the interim off to raise a family and dove back in a few years back. I don’t find the changes in hobby to be a healthy thing and believe the unintended consequence of the outrageous grading standards is to turn off folks just as yourself. I jumped into a thread a few weeks back about a 100k Franklin half. It stuns me that any Franklin could command such a premium. And I bet back in the 1970’s I could have bought that very Franklin for  10-20 bucks. I felt much as you do after participating in that thread and took a few weeks off from CT. Anyway, I figure I am closer to the end of my collecting years than the beginning so I’ll keep loving what I know..... Anyway, I totally get it and am sorry the hobby has soured you so.[/QUOTE]
