I was 20 years old myself once and yeah, I said and did a lot of really dumb things (still do actually, but that&#039;s beside the point).

Maybe I&#039;m just old fashioned, over tired and over sensitive, in which case please accept my apologies, but I can&#039;t help but wonder what impression this gives to the casual reader or new collector looking for a place to learn more about coin collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
