[QUOTE="IdesOfMarch01, post: 2848155, member: 39084"]I've been watching these threads and I have to say that their benefit to new collectors is potentially enormous. So many times we see threads by novice collectors asking about where to start, whether such-and-such coin is a good value, should I shop eBay auctions, etc., and many times the new collector neglects to mention his/her price range for coins. These threads can provide immediate guidance and specific examples, with specific dealers, prices, etc., and will alleviate the need to rehash all the sage advice that has been previously provided. While it's true that some coins were bargains and others were a bit overpriced, in the aggregate my impression is that for each of the price ranges, the expectations for coins and associated prices that a novice collector should explore are fairly accurate in the current market. The more coins and prices posted, the more statistically accurate the sample. These threads are by far the best resource on the Internet for comparative information. Congratulations to the original idea and all the participants![/QUOTE]
