[QUOTE="Maxfli, post: 3172500, member: 69089"]I was tempted to go with 'very valuable' but instead voted 'some value' for the simple reason that forums (all forums, not just this one) have a fair share of wasted space. There’s also too much CT bandwidth consumed by treasure hunters looking for Lincoln cent errors, and too many discussions that devolve into bickering — neither of which add value. That said, this site has certainly been of some value to me personally. I’m better at grading, for instance, as a result of time spent here, and I’m more cognizant of counterfeiting issues. I also think spending time here has helped me become less of an accumulator and more of a collector. I no longer keep coins that merely fill a space; every coin I own now has to stand on its own merit or it’s outta here. Whether that’s cause-and-effect or coincidental, I’m not sure. But I have to believe that simply spending time on CT (almost) daily has in turn led me to spend more time contemplating what I want out of this hobby and what’s most important to me as a coin collector.[/QUOTE]
