<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 635616, member: 112&quot;]There is one very important thing about me that you apparently don&#039;t realize. When I post here, fully 99.9% of the time I am not posting as an Admin or Moderator - I am posting as a member of the forum, just like you or anybody else. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now if the fact that Peter has placed the title Administrator under my name intimidates you or anyone else, which is what it seems you are saying, then let&#039;s go on the record right here and now - DON&#039;T LET IT ! If it makes even 1 person happy, I&#039;ll remove it. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am no different than you or anybody else, I am just another member stating his opinion. And when I state my opinion, it is most often extremely obvious that it is an opinion. If it is not, then I apologize for that and will make a stronger effort in the future to ensure that it is obvious. When I state facts, I state them as facts and usually say so straight out so there is no room for doubt. And if I make a mistake in my facts, it happens often enough, I state that also and <u>thank</u> the person for giving me the correct information.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if that is not how I should be, then please, tell me - how should I be ?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I agree 100%. But that is not the point I was trying to make. I am not talking about truly exceptional coins that go for X number of times of Bid. I think every single person here, especially myself, will readily admit that they have at one time or another, and usually several times, over-paid for a coin to add to their collection. But I&#039;m not talking about that at all. But apparently no one, or only a few, understand that. So let me try and put it another way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s take a rather ordinary coin for example - say a 1954-P Lincoln cent in XF condition. Let&#039;s say that a person buys this coin and they pay $495 for it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now based on the opinions expressed by some, that means that coin, an ordinary 1954-P lincoln cent in XF condition, is worth $495. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now no disrespect intended to anyone, not 1 single person - but I find that to be an utterly rediculous assumption. And I will forever state that it is my opinion that that particular coin is not worth $495. And I don&#039;t think there would be many that would argue the point. But if they do - so be it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
