[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 716399, member: 307"]collector, fine... but if you are investing in coins it behooves you to be infinitely more critical and knowledgeable of what you buy. BNB, I think that I can shed some light on something here in this group. A lot of these posters that have given opinions (and apologies to some, I am only using a few as examples, I know that there are more) are either: former dealers (Doug) current dealers (Penny Lady, rlms cents) work for a dealer (me, clembo) or former TPG graders (Mark Feld). One profile at times looks like another and so it's kind of hard sometimes to tell the players without a scorecard, but there some very knowledgeable people here and it sometimes is best to swallow one's pride and listen to what they say, try to understand what they are saying and then apply it to the situation and re-draw your own conclusions. Typically even in the worst of circumstances (and even with some of the most stubborn minds... um, that's me) you can discuss and question and argue as long as you listen and try to understand.
