<p>[QUOTE="Owle, post: 924685, member: 22004"]Not everyone has the vision to be able to make a value judgment of any given coin, or all the books that would help, nor has taken all the courses others have. There are many areas of collectable coins that cannot be quantified from a dollar perspective, the market is an imperfect adjudicator of the value of collectables. I approach this subject also as a consumer advocate like Ralph Nader would. Hated by many, loved by many more people who owe there lives to the consumer advocacy of Ralph Nader and people like him. Those who would attack people who want greater accountability, transparency and better ethics in numismatics with name-calling should ask themselves how they have been helped by people with their investments, other hobbies, and so forth. Debate can be healthy if it is done in compliance with the standards set forth in the membership section.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
