[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 4588760, member: 10461"]I voted a 9 in the poll. Ask me again next week and it could be a 10. My opinions of my own coins often fluctuate between 8, 9, and 10 in these very unscientific polls. If I ever vote a 6 or 7 on one, you can be sure that one is on its way out the door before too long. 5 or less, and I wouldn't have put it in my collection to begin with. But silly though they may be, these polls [I]do[/I] provide me with some interesting if not 100% statistically sound information. Like any collector, I like to know what other people think about my collection- even if the audience is just the "Man on the Street" who might not collect what I do- or might not even be a coin collector at all. That's the reasoning behind that "[I]whether you're an expert or not[/I]" clause in the poll question. It gives me some general idea on what my more (and less-) popular coins are. Comments are the best, but silent lurker types who don't post will often vote anonymously in the polls. (Thanks for looking and voting, Silent Lurker Types.) ;)[/QUOTE]
