<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2954689, member: 71723&quot;]Sorry Jim, I guess I have exactly zero likelihood of EVER understanding or appreciating the current expectation, spawned by the entire internet culture, I suggest, that you are expected to do absolutely no &quot;homework&quot;, or engage in no self-education, before you emerge all breathless with your &quot;new finds&quot;. Honestly Jim, some people arrive here with less awareness about coins than a semi-precocious 3-year-old.</p><p><br /></p><p>And I keep asking myself how people ended up HERE! I was a SERIOUS numismatist for over 20 YEARS before I ever even HEARD OF CoinTalk. (and honestly, a happier one, too.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I just realized that as we turned the calendar page on Monday, this is now the 25th anniversary of my first published article on coins, in a &quot;dead tree&quot; publication.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
