[QUOTE="rhoggman, post: 394981, member: 13987"]First of all [I][B]variety collecting does add something new to coin collecting, even if variety collecting itself is not new, new varieties are found often. Therefore, variety collecting is innovative[/B][/I] (not my opinion, Daniel Webster's). You say it does not add to history...... I am not a variety collector, but [B][I]if you read about varieties it oviously adds much to history especially when it comes to operations at the various mints, and more....[/I][/B] I share your sentiments when it comes to the lack of desire to be a variety collector; however, I was never making a case for my emotional attachment to coin varieties. [B][I]Rewards should, and do come to those who put forth directed effort, otherwise effort would be fruitless in all endevours, and therfore worthless[/I][/B]. I will not get into your accusations of generalities, me making absurd statements, or have ideas that are extreme hyperbole. Since you made negative comments about variety collecting, and then proved in your own words you have no idea what you are talking about I have no reason to refute your statements. [B][I]Your comments that it does not add to coin collecting, is not innovative, or adds no historical narrative proves without a doubt all your arguments lack actual facts.[/I][/B] Slimebag was the wrong thing to say... It was not my intention to put anyone down, and I see how that comment was uneeded.[/QUOTE]
