<p>[QUOTE="spock1k, post: 311133, member: 7043"]I think the selling comments are based for collectors who do not have experience or know their stuff well enough. Mark has acknowledged in his post in this thread earlier that it does not apply to rare coins. TPG coins from the top 3 which would be classified as rare and valuable cannot and should not be used as a testing bed to feel the pain. Guess what will happen if you sell those you will not get them back you might make a profit or small loss but you will never see those coins again for the most part. Most of his thoughts are things to remember in different situations they are not a panacea for all coin collecting needs and do not pally to everyone and every situation. It is easy to criticize infact too easy but we must remember that Mark's opinion is shared by a lot of people. I belong to the other school of thought on this point but i would still like to thank Mark for putting this in. Its very important to know what the different schools of thought are so you can decide for yourself what works best for you. As far as cointalk goes I thinkt he mods here are always trying to help people do the right thing and make the right decision but realize that mods are also human and there is no such thing as a perfect collector. Signign on to take potshots at someone doesnt add to the value of the thread and then the focus disappears lets just focus on the points rather than the person who wrote the thread. We can alll learn more that way[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
