<p>[QUOTE="SilverWilliesCoinsdotcom, post: 2911755, member: 86795"]It might be the temper of the times. We're a distrusting society, as exampled by the fear of the Chinese counterfeit coins and even the counterfeit TPG holders now showing up. How often do we see (sound) advice that no one buy a CC Morgan Dollar in any decent grade that isn't slabbed? Also, like the way we watch TV, we don't wait for one night of the week at 8 pm or whenever to see our favorite show... we tape it for months then binge watch, we watch marathons, or a season at a time, we buy mint rolls and send them all off for grading, expecting back a few 70s, which we then sell off to finance the next buy, often a never ending race to break even if we're lucky AND shrewd. Sometime long ago, we lost the feeling of holding a 100 years old silver coin in our hands without gloves, or through bullet proof glass, versus heaven forbid, clicking a fingernail along the rim of a silver dollar, trying to keep count...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
