In other words, you do not appreciate how little you actually know or (worse) how little your sources are providing you. Take the best cases, say, PCGS CoinFacts. It is just a thumbnail. Similarly, for ancients and world, you can read CoinArchives or Wildwinds or VCoins all day and never actually get to the true histories and deeper facts that make material interesting to yourself and valuable in the marketplace.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Even books, nice as they are, are <b>secondary</b> sources. The journal articles come first, Bust Half, Seated Series, Lincoln Cents, etc., etc., whatever you pursue, there is a club of collectors pushing forward the boundaries of knowledge.</p><p><br /></p><p>See my reply to GDJMSP: I also have been getting rid of books, but they are books that I have used in the past, though I no longer need them now.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And (1) I live near a major university with a library and a classics department (2) as an ANA member, I have access to their library.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
