<p>[QUOTE="Kirkuleez, post: 1519143, member: 36864"]A good point has been made to me at least. I, and most people in general will be a bit more cautious when responding to a young collector. We won't put down their coins, rather give the high points and congratulate them on the acquisition. We will also let them know if their is a problem with the coin, but in a much lighter manner than if it were an older person, new collector or fifty year veteran of the hobby. Perhaps we forget that the older person is not going to be the only one to see our comments and we should choose our words a little more carefully. It wouldn't hurt anybody to be a little more descriptive with their comments to show why a coin is a problem coin rather than just saying something like cleaned, ugly or the like. Really it would better serve all of those wondering why cleaning a coin is so bad, or why special care should be taken to preserve coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
