<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheBigH, post: 286961, member: 9866&quot;]Andrew, from your harsh words and indirect, anger-laden sarcasm, I get the idea that you have been deceived by the less-than-honest sellers who make their craft on eBay or the like. Either that or you are one of the purists that I mentioned earlier. Again, as I mentioned to Doug, not everyone is &#039;out to get you&#039;, and furthermore, the people who do want to deceive you can always find other methods of doing so. Without dissecting your entire post (which is something you seem to have no problem doing), I&#039;d also like to comment on what I said about educating. I think - and I&#039;m sure you can agree with me on this level - that before anyone starts paying any large sums of money on coins, they should at least view a place like this, or perhaps read into the right book. You can take the &#039;it&#039;s not my problem&#039; path all day long, but that&#039;s not what the hobby is about. I&#039;m not quite sure why someone who doesn&#039;t believe that is even on a numismatic forum.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Regardless, it seems that mindsets very much like the one I just described are becoming more and more apparent in this hobby of ours, and I for one am not looking forward to the years to come (from a numismatic standpoint, at least).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
