<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 3075121, member: 15199&quot;]I have been collecting for 60 years, and I can say that every week I learn something new, as well as teach others what I know when asked specifically. No one will or has ever known everything about numismatics. But all want to do more than just buy and put away. I started with Silver dollars and cents , and most of the first 10 years was just with those. Then I became more interested in varieties and there are many of those in those groups. A person feels much more pride and enthusiasm when they know a sub-set of knowledge well, rather than just a little about a lot of knowledge. It is really a life-time endeavor if you wish to make it such. Some people only collect specific areas of a wide variety, so what ever works with you. Everyone can make mistakes in their answer, some get upset when challenged, others research the possibility before responding, that is how we learn. Only the fools get into arguments without really understanding the question. And yes there are several of&nbsp; every day of the year. Do not get caught up in the nonsense and you will probably be like the song &quot;Hotel California&quot;, checking in but can never leave. It will take a little time to find who knows what , and who just thinks they do.&nbsp; Read much more than post for a while until you get your feet set. </p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
