Message:: [QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 3443061, member: 24633"][USER=101855]@johnmilton[/USER] One of the biggest problems is that too many of the new collectors are receiving their "education" on BoobTube channels. Granted, there is some good information, but there is also a lot of crappola spread around just so some videophiles can earn "points". They don't care about the accuracy or completeness of their information. The other problem we have is that many of the new collectors think that die chips, die cracks and grease-filled dies are something special and should be saved. There are also too many doubled dies that are so minor that you need a Hubble telescope to find them. If these new collectors had to spend the money to submit them for grading and attribution, they'd learn the hard way what a joke it is. There are some of the better-informed members here who try to "clue them in" but it gets rather tiresome and tedious to have to deal with them day after day after day after day. I really wish that CT would get rid of the "What's it Worth" forum because most of the threads are about junk coins worn out from circulation. These people don't care to learn how condition affects the value of coins. "Show me the money!" That's all they think about. Chris[/QUOTE]
