<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2172412, member: 19463"]Here is a fact you may not like. In every specialty there are those who love the coins and those who love the money they can make from them. Here, we have a preponderance of people who would collect these things even if they knew that they could never sell them even for what we paid. We enjoy the company of people like ourselves. This troll keeps telling himself that he will start ignoring any question about what a coin is worth but I still hate seeing beginners taken to the cleaners by dealers who charge $50 for $5 junkers. We gather coins to be sure but we also gather tidbits of information that some of us find at least as valuable as the coins themselves. Those who visit here only wanting to have their coins appraised don't stay long and leave convinced that we are all fools unwilling to answer their Red Book questions. I hope all new people will stay and learn enough to be accused of being pedantic trolls of the worst variety. It is more fun to know than not to know and more fun to share that knowledge than to sweep it under a rock.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
