<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2326446, member: 19463&quot;]I don&#039;t know anything about modern French coins but was glad to see this and happy that anyone feels &#039;at home&#039; here.&nbsp; If I were setting up an online discussion group (I&#039;m not, CT is fine with me) I would separate coin collecting from numismatics.&nbsp; Collectors are interested in two things: grade and price.&nbsp; Numismatics includes some hard to define things like style, fabric, historical links and a pile of &#039;why&#039; questions that can not be addressed on a slab label or one line eBay listing.&nbsp; Several of our more well to do collectors here are also fine numismatists and post some really interesting things about coins that might at first look seem like things I would not find interesting but end up making me wish I could find one in my bracket.&nbsp; I would not mind it a bit if we never had a other post of a cull uncleaned AE3 with the question of what is it worth.&nbsp; Any coin that can be valued for what it is and not for what it is worth is welcome here as far as I&#039;m concerned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
