<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 4052179, member: 68&quot;]I didn&#039;t mean to imply states quarter collectors are &quot;unsophisticated&quot; or that the coins are unsophisticated. I am merely differentiating some states quarter collectors from others. To me there are three type of collectors of states quarters (of course there really are more and no one falls entirely in one category.&nbsp; There are sophisticated collector who study the coins, their distribution, and their history.&nbsp; Many of these collectors also have advanced collections of these coins.&nbsp; Their are casual collectors who essentially are just filling a coin board as the coins are found.&nbsp; They have little interest in the coins as coins.&nbsp; Then there are &quot;unsophisticated collectors&quot; who are more interested in the coins and their attributes but haven&#039;t yet learned much about them.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This applies to the registry collectors as well but most of these collectors are rather sophisticated.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps I should use different words but I tend to prefer to be specific and then forget that other people can&#039;t really pick up my meaning from context.&nbsp; All collectors fit this but bust half collectors are mostly sophisticated and this goes double for those collecting higher grade specimens.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I meant no disrespect to anybody.&nbsp; Life is a road and we all choose our own speed and our own diversions.&nbsp; It&#039;s no race because we all end up in a tie anyway.&nbsp; One can only &quot;win&quot; by enjoying the trip and I believe there is no better way to win than coin collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
