<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 1973333, member: 36248&quot;]Yeah, but THIS newbie ([USER=71838]@dallas101[/USER]) seems eager to learn, willing to listen to advice, and has already made some mistakes he quickly learned from.&nbsp; &nbsp; There are a few others I can think of on CT that wont listen to a shred of advice. </p><p><br /></p><p>A person can still buy coins concurrently with learning.&nbsp;&nbsp; A person can make mistakes in this hobby and positively benefit from them.&nbsp; &nbsp; A person can have no direction to a collection, and then suddenly find a path in the chaos.&nbsp;&nbsp; If all you do is try book-learning, you don&#039;t really make the mistakes required to really <b>learn</b> through the pain and embarrassment of the error.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t even imagine trying to determine what I like and dont like for coins series, or ways to collect, without having first tried a bunch of things and later realized, &quot;wait, I dont like this series&quot; / &quot;wait, I dont like collecting by date anymore&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; How the heck is a book going to teach you that?</p><p><br /></p><p>To me, the solution is having a supportive community like CoinTalk to put someone back on the path when they have slightly gone off road, not to tell them to not even begin the journey.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
