<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LostDutchman, post: 1020081, member: 16994&quot;]I think it has to do with what has been touched on earlier. New people who know nothing or very little about coins come with their hopes high thinking they have discovered something that is going to let them retire. Most of the time it has to do with variety or error coins... but it happens in other forms of numismatics as well. The very competent numismatist among us (some of them even considered the top experts in their respective fields) give them a very good, correct, and in depth answer only to be argued with or the topic just dies without a thank you towards the person who spent the time to impart their knowledge. It&#039;s the curse of the boards. It&#039;s frustrating to spend your time trying to teach someone something only for them to argue with you because &quot;well, the internet said different&quot;. I deal with it all the time in my own coin shop and I&#039;m just a local coin shop. I think that this is some of the root of the problem we are seeing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
