There are very few people, like Abraham Lincoln, who could go to school for less than a year (and not all at one time), and educate himself. An Internet search might not lead you to Jack D. Young who has done a tremendous amount to combat counterfeits here and on other sites. </p><p><br /></p><p>I will admit that a lot of my numismatic education has been self taught. I read numismatic books magazines when I was in high school, although there are far more sources today than there were back then. I also learned through the school of hard knocks which not always the best place for a beginner to learn. They can become angry and discouraged and might leave the hobby. </p><p><br /></p><p>No, it&#039;s a lot better to learn, at least the basics, from a teacher.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
