[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1990261, member: 112"]And before you were born, (heck before I was born !), there was a generation doing it with ticker tapes, and then teletypes, and then computers before anybody ever had one in their home. The point I am making is that coin collectors and dealers have always used technology. Sure technology has changed, but it's far from being something new. It's just different technology today than it used to be. And I wouldn't be so sure about that "best possible going price anywhere" comment if I were you. Best one you found, OK, I'll give ya that. But if you think it's the best there is anywhere, you better do some more thinking ;) And let's not forget, the wonderful amazing coin you found and bought with your phone, you very well may have paid too much for it, or it may not be quite as wonderful and amazing when you look at it in hand as it looked in those pictures on your phone. Or it very well might be overgraded, or it may have problems but got slabbed anyway. Or, or, or ..... Yeah, technology is a good thing, heck it's a great thing ! But it will never, could never, replace knowledge and looking at a coin in hand. Those AAA+++ coins you mention, they might just be B's or C's. You'd be smart to remember that ;)[/QUOTE]
