<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JohnGalt, post: 499295, member: 13370&quot;]<b>Why has the forum become so popular?</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I believe that the popularity and increased traffic can be attributed to a number of factors:</p><ul> <li>The availability of expertise and experience in a relatively arcane field. Members here can identify and opine on the condition and value of a wide variety of numismatic items;</li> <li>Though the hobby is popular, there are many areas of the country where coin enthusiasts are few and far between. This forum is a target-rich environment for people who want to discuss coins;</li> <li>The anonymity of membership lets members enjoy their hobby without revealing their valuable collections to potential predators;</li> <li>Communications here take place without respect to space and time. Threads span out over days and across borders. This convenience enables members to join a conversation at their convenience.</li> <li>Lastly, it enables interaction with amusing and colorful characters of the coin world from a safe distance....just kidding....sort of.</li> </ul><p>I am very happy to be a member of this forum, and am grateful to the moderators and facilitators who make it possible. Best wishes to you all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
