[QUOTE="gboulton, post: 1066602, member: 27043"]Precisely. Why? Why do I "have to put [my] trust in someone" other than myself? Reason dictates to me that if I am to spend money on something, I [B]MUST[/B] make a determination of that thing's value. I am, after all, exchanging a store of value for it. Since it is I who is ultimately to bear the responsibility for the outcomes of that decision, why should I ask, or for that matter ALLOW, anyone else to make it for me? No...I really DON'T have to "trust someone". I'm quite capable of trusting myself. What? Someone with 40+ years of experience as a numismatist is suggesting I should pay more attention to the quality of the coin itself than I do to a profit seeking stranger's assessment of it? What a silly suggestion.[/QUOTE]
