<p>[QUOTE="srkjkd, post: 360540, member: 7248"]once again, not to be a wank, but your precious coins that you buy at a good price to keep....what happens if your child or relative (or whoever you love), inherit a collection they know nothing about. they take it to a dealer and sell for what seems a good price (tho because of the varieties YOU knew about, but they have no numismatic knowledge at all) they get lowballed and the dealer gets 100k of coins for 10k?? so i guess its ok and i guess whoever inherits better have a numismatic education. if they don't and lose out on 90k...oh well, guess it sucks to be them. when are people going to stop defending reasons why it is ok for them to get over, but don't let that dealer (or ebay seller, ect) sell me a cleaned coin or overrgraded. i was taught better and thank God not every collector and dealer has lost their conscience. getting lowballed or nearly having your coin collection stolen by price because of someones "superior" knowledge is why so many people leave this hobby w/ a bitter perspective, "DO UNTO OTHERS...." rant 3 over. its my opinion and i stand by it. we vastly need more consumer education and advocacy in this hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
