<p>[QUOTE="MatrixMP-9, post: 3108526, member: 93422"]Im a newer to coins and collecting but to me, I have to admit that this entire situation adds to the "art" of it all. Its not so cut and dry. There without question is an art factor to this and opinions, experience and viewpoints can change history. A common dime from decades ago is now suddenly going to become a variety? I think thats awesome. To think that a coin that passed through so many peoples hands still has the potential to have something "unique" (I dont like the word error in this sentence) about it. It makes for a more alive and dynamic environment. To me it makes it more fun that there is still room to "change the book" and the hobby isnt just written in stone unable to be creative and new....even with old coins lol. Its alot like medicine which is my arena. New things are discovered all the time and in alot of cases, there are leaders in the field that do not want to accept the change or new discovery. Sometimes I agree with them and sometimes I dont. It would be a sad world with alot less healthy eyes if there werent at least some humility and open minded thought. I wont bore you with the history of it but it wasnt too long ago that there were new layers of the cornea discovered which should sound odd considering how advanced science and medicine has come. Thank God it was because its led to incredible new treatments. Maybe the recognition of a variety as unusual, unthinkable and quite frankly "debatable" that it is, may lead to other great things.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
