<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 1685146, member: 4920&quot;]Conder, that&#039;s right, and I&#039;ll take my licks for over-generalizing. But they can tell as well as anybody. When I say a kid who&#039;s serious about the hobby I&#039;m saying serious enough to acquire the requisite knowledge to appreciate what they&#039;re looking at in a coin, because that&#039;s what they&#039;re in the hobby for, to appreciate coins. That issue of MS or PR comes up in these forums all the time, and sometimes we&#039;re even stumped. The fact that there are aberrations that stump us doesn&#039;t betray our analytical knowledge, if that should make any sense. This hobby on the whole lost that appreciation of coins once it got off technical grading and into the irrationality of &quot;grading&quot; coins for the market, as so many commodities, but then that&#039;s perhaps an issue for some other thread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
