<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1796309, member: 26302&quot;]Good articles, especially if you wish to collect classic US coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, a couple of points. One, I believe he downplays collector choice. He says &quot;of course a collector can choose as he likes&quot;, but yet still insist there is an absolutely right way to collect, (which means by definition there are &quot;wrong&quot; ways to collect). I simply believe its my hobby, no one has a right to dictate HOW I collect.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, isn&#039;t he pretty full of himself?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;Indeed, I am the only person who has closely examined thousands of rarities in all series of classic U.S. coins (usually with a magnifying glass), has extensively reviewed dozens of major coin auctions for leading publications (including epic sales), has learned about the physical characteristics of coins from foremost experts like David Akers and John Albanese (among others), AND has researched the history of coin collecting in the U.S.&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hmm. I am sure there are quite a number of distinquished numismatists who might take offense at such an assertion, such as David Bowers just to start. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Not to say Mr. Bowers has necessarily learned from Mr Akers and Albanese, (more like Mr Akers and Albanese would have been privileged to learn from Mr. Bowers).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
