<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 994481, member: 26302"]Agreed of course. It is like any education, you cannot appreciate it unless you have it, and if you have it you cannot imagine not having it. Every coin I have that I have researched and read about is probably 10 times more valuable to me than most others. Yes, you can make a lot of money by knowing the knowledge in these books, but that is just money. The intellectual, spiritual, and historical knowledge is what makes coin collecting the amazing hobby it is, and good books open up that world. We stand on the shoulders of giants, take for granted what they have discovered, and to read how and when they made their discoveries and the logic behind it just makes this information more amazing that we have today.</p><p><br /></p><p>I always tell people the monetary gain they can achieve by buying good books, but in the back of my mind I am just using that and hope they are exposed to all of these other facets as well. Its hard to convince someone of these things, so I simply use profit as a lure. There always is profit, just not always extra money, but always profit for your soul.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
