<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3192034, member: 74968&quot;]Great post [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER] </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with what you have said. I have very much enjoyed the books I have and reading them has led to a greater appreciation for the coins in my collection and for those I want to own. Your site is a great resource and I hope the new collectors take advantage of the great deal of information available there.</p><p><br /></p><p>I read for several months before buying my first coin and I have never regretted that use of my time. Sure there is a lot of information on the internet, some of it is even accurate, but to me there is no replacement for a good book on a subject in which you are interested.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reading the books I have has given me an appreciation for the long hours of research that goes into them. It has also led to an activity that I very much enjoy-tracking down a coin reference in a book. I would rather rely on my own analytical skills than trust everyone who puts coin references on the internet. One benefit of this has been that I have found several rare coins that were misattributed as common in a number of online auctions. This has enabled me to pick up some nice rarities for the price of a common coin. In this case it literally pays to do one&#039;s research.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again for the very informative post.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
