<p>[QUOTE="USS656, post: 381807, member: 6641"]I post on both sites and have made a couple great connections for the notes I collect over on WG. Ya, it's really too bad the star note got stamped but it's not the end of the world. It's like the spouse gold coins that get melted for the gold - makes the rest a little more valuable and as a collector that can only help the value of mine. Some of the posters over there brag about stamping Barr notes that have been circulated - as much as it makes me cringe - how valuable is a well circulated Barr note now or at any time in the future? Would I do it - NO - can I do anything about someone else doing it - NO - life is too short and there are more important things to care about where we can really make a difference. If the site attracts people to the hobby - then that's good for the hobby. I would bet more harm is done by new coin collectors handling coins improperly than by all of the people stamping WG on notes. Lets move on and welcome some of the new members to CT![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
