<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brian Bucklan, post: 2702968, member: 76544&quot;]Before Cointalk there was Moneta on Yahoo. Pretty much defunct now as too often it became a loud shouting match between &quot;experts&quot; in the ancient numismatic field while degrading folks who they felt weren&#039;t at their level. The mainstream collectors who just enjoy reading articles and learning about the hobby were turned off completely. What I guess I&#039;m trying to say is that the vast majority of ancient collectors are nowhere near experts in the field and are looking for a lighter view of the hobby. That&#039;s why the Cointalk format works for me and a lot of other folks. Is there room for in-depth scholarly articles in the new publication ... absolutely. But I certainly believe if you want it to succeed you need more widespread appeal and to me that&#039;s having articles that address the beginning, intermediate and advanced collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
