<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2298549, member: 36230&quot;]Someone buying this type of thing for the novelty factor, paying perhaps a few dollars shipped, is one thing, but those prices are entirely ridiculous. In fact I believe it a black eye on this hobby; short of selling to another fool, which makes for an unfortunate and vicious cycle, these people are forever buried in what is essentially junk. More often than not such purchases seem to be made under the false belief that the coin is something rare or special, and is really no different from when people unwittingly buy problem or misrepresented dreck. No one likes to later discover that they&#039;ve been had, even if by themselves, and who wants to collect in an area where, because of all the nonsense, it can be tough to simply enjoy one&#039;s self without having to worry that every other schmuck is out to get you.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can certainly understand the draw to pocket easy money, but if one cares about this hobby, they need to ask themselves if it&#039;s worth taking advantage of another collector, or a budding collector, in order to do so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
