<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1545836, member: 26302"]I agree. I just am bewildered sometimes how people cannot "get" that knowing more about your coin, why its special, what is great about it, all of the stuff you will get from good coin books and education, simply makes all of your coins more valuable to YOU. If someone spends $500 on a "pretty coin" that is great, but if I spend the same $500 on a coin because its pretty, but know who the ruler was, why this coin was special, what the symbolic importance of each device is, etc etc. I simply believe I am getting much more value out of that $500 purchase than the first buyer. Why would people not want that? </p><p><br /></p><p>I am sure its a matter of people not knowing what they don't know. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, the article doesn't even go into the fact that numismatic books tend to increase in value more than the coins themselves, and the fact I have never bought a fake book! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

Why would people not want that? I am sure its a matter of people not knowing what they don't know. :( Btw, the article doesn't even go into the fact that numismatic books tend to increase in value more than the coins themselves, and the fact I have never bought a fake book! :D[/QUOTE]
