<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2362453, member: 15929&quot;]My take on critiquing what some post.</p><p><br /></p><p>This forum is, hopefully, a permanent historical record which can be searched and researched for valuable information. As such, letting new collectors know about some of the fallacies associated with the Coin Market is very important.</p><p>RARE - is often translated into expensive and &quot;expensive&quot; can often be attributed to only a few collectors in a thin market.</p><p><br /></p><p>No doubt, new collectors should be encouraged BUT encouragement can turn into discouragement when what one thought was rare turns out to be fairly common. Especially after investing money in it for grading.</p><p><br /></p><p>Additionally, some new collectors (we were all new once) can get bogged down by the BS which seems so readily available in an active coin market. I think it&#039;s important to point out the BS and not misleading them into thinking that what they feel is special may not be special to the general coin collecting public.</p><p><br /></p><p>It can appear harsh (and some are actually meant to be harsh) but often times it&#039;s not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
