<p>[QUOTE="TheBigH, post: 286814, member: 9866"]Well, I can appreciate that, however it seems like a rather large leap to assume that all of these coins will be used to bilk the public. I believe that most (if not all) of the members here are quite honest. I agree this could easily be used to fool novice collectors, but if nic-a-date weren't around, they would just use vinegar. I think the important thing is not to elimate the products that can be very helpful to genuine, honest numismatists, but rather to educate the young or novice collectors so they don't make the mistake of buying from the less than honest sellers. Basically what I'm saying is that education of the buyers rather than elimination of the sellers is the key.</p><p> </p><p>And as for your other comment, I definitely respect your opinion. I suppose both sides of the argument (to nic or not to nic) have their own advantages and disadvantages. I favor the to nic, you favor not to nic. Opinons are a lot like $2 bills. We all have them, but they're not worth anything over face. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
