Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 306736, member: 112"]First of all, you didn't upset me in the least. No idea why ya think ya did. I tried to answer the question you asked. But that's the point Bone, what you say in the above quote is not the question you asked. At least I certainly didn't interpret it that way. It seemed to me that you were asking about the typical, average John Doe coin collector. And you see, the average coin collector doesn't frequent internet coin forums. Those who do are really the select few and there is nothing average about them. Those who frequent internet coin forums are much better educated about their coins and they know where to go to check prices. The average coin collector does not. The average coin collector uses the Red Book or maybe even Coin Values because that's all they know. I think if you had phrased your question differently and pointedly asked the membership where they went to check coin prices, your poll would have entirely different answers. At least from some of us. For the average coin collector doesn't even know that places like Heritage or the PCGS site even exists.[/QUOTE]
