<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 2711329, member: 83956&quot;]If I&#039;m reading Ro correctly, it seems that he uses the &quot;likes&quot; system as a means of evaluating the desirability of one of the coins in his collection, or the wisdom of a recent purchase. If he posts a coin and it doesn&#039;t get a large number of likes, then he interprets that as indicating the relative undesirability of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>But Ro, what I would say is that judging a coin&#039;s worth by &quot;likes&quot; on this board is an inaccurate system. The number of &quot;likes&quot; might simply be a function of what time of day you post, not interest in the coin. And in truth, the desirability of the coin is probably better gauged by its market value, not whether I click on the like button.</p><p><br /></p><p>The posts that I tend to &quot;like&quot; are not posts that simply show a picture with a &quot;what do you think?&quot; expectation. They are posts that show a picture of a coin with a comment that teaches me something. What is special about the coin? Why did you get it? What can it teach me? Such posts seem designed to &quot;give&quot; something to the board, not just &quot;take&quot; likes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
