<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1017503, member: 15309&quot;]I felt it necessary to establish a reputation as a knowledgeable collector on this forum before I started to disagree with you.&nbsp; Now that I have done that, I don&#039;t hesitate to disagree with you when our opinions diverge.&nbsp; However, you must recognize that a high post count in combination with an administrator title and your direct posting style gives every newbie the perception that you are the expert.&nbsp; And despite your occasional proclomation to the contrary, perception is reality, and you are perceived as an expert my most of the members of this forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know about Shane&#039;s start on the forums.&nbsp; What I do know is that he buys/sells hundreds of thousands of dollars of toned coins per year and is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the toned coin market.&nbsp; It is his niche and he has learned from the very best over the years.&nbsp; If you are not impressed with his knowledge on the subject then I submit that you are allowing extraneous factors to cloud your judgement.&nbsp; And while I appreciate your warning about forum experts, and for the most part I agree, I rely on my poker reading skills to make judgments about online forum posters.&nbsp; In Shane&#039;s case, my read is that he is the real deal in regards to the toned coin market.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really don&#039;t want to get into another discussion about TPG grading standards with you.&nbsp; At this point I will simply agree to disagree on that topic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
