<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 21188, member: 57463&quot;]I agree that a problem exists.&nbsp; My point was only that the &quot;knowledgeable&quot; collector who buys an 1883 Indianhead Cent in technical XF, but with a bad rimnick, gets it for close to VF money, say $10 and then comes to you with it does not say, &quot;I spent three hours at $17 per hour and drove 20 miles at 15 mpg at $2.09 a gallon, so I paid $70 for this coin.&quot;&nbsp; They did, indeed, but they know what to focus on when selling the coin.&nbsp; The people with the channel changers and credit cards do not see the hidden costs to them in NOT pursuing education instead of watching TV.&nbsp; (That problem is deeper, and perhaps not addressable.)&nbsp; So, they don&#039;t deduct that lost value from the value of the material.</p><p><br /></p><p>I realize that this does not do them (or you) much good, but getting the root of the problem identified may lead to a workable, permanent solution.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
