<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 24067, member: 487&quot;]As I mentioned in another thread, I recently made the acquaintance of a CoinVault customer that has been purchasing Carson City Gold. I of course forwarded a copy of &quot;Trends&quot; and Quarterly 3 of the greysheet for him to compare.</p><p>His tool for price guides is the Red Book. While we all know how great a referrence tool it is, a good price guide it is not.</p><p><br /></p><p>TV has a major draw for some. The flashy lights, the showmen touting coins as rare. Many millions are sucked into the hype and part with their hard earned money. Most are lost when they finally realize that they have been burnt and robbed on their collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>This gentlemen believes that I as a coin dealer am offering an opinion that TV is bad because I do not know any better.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is hard to break through the mystique of TV. It is harder when collectors view dealers as the enemy. In this day of free information and endless possibilities it is easy to take the short path. </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope that at least a few of you realize that there are many of us here on the forum that while we only offer our opinions, that they are based in fact and truth.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes we as a group do not like the answers that we receive, or to admit that we are limited in our knowledge. Do not allow yourselves to become hardened against the truth. </p><p><br /></p><p>We all learn new things everyday. What seperates the masses is that that some of us are willing to accept the fact that we do need to learn more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
