Lets think of another field where I can illustrate this. Lets say someone was new to football and went to a football board. They ask the question &quot;What was the greatest team in NFL history?&quot;. Well they are going to get some answers that could be correct, (undefeated Dolphins, 70&#039;s Steelers, recent Patriots), then you will get some answers of guys just supporting their local teams, like 1992 Chiefs, or 2005 Falcons, etc. (btw just making up teams/years for illustration). See what I mean? Some answers would be defendable, some not, but if a person does not knwo football pretty decently they cannot tell which answers are defendable, and which ones are just silly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Same with here. If you read posts concerning coin collecting and bullion investing, if you do not have some background you simply do not know which ones to really contemplate and which ones to skip over. </p><p><br /></p><p>What makes it even more complicated is that unlike a question of best football team, your goals and tastes will greatly affect what is the &quot;right&quot; answer for you. If any person claims they know exactly how YOU should colelct coins then you know that is an answer you can skip over. There simply is no physical way for anyone to know what is best for you but you. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would say that as you get a little more experience collecting you will learn to differentiate answers here, and also realize that you cannot learn how to &quot;collect coins&quot; here, simply pick up some tips that might make your path a little easier.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope that helped a little.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Btw if you needed as the way of getting your feet wet to know what one poster you should listen to, I would nominate either Doug of Mark, (GDJMSP or Mark Feld). Most on this board do not disagree with their advice, and they have kindly and unselfishly given it here for a long time. They are both lifelong experts, and know this topic. Others here are great as well, and you will decide who they are, but to get started pay attention to these guys advice. You will be glad you did. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
