Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 255885, member: 112"]Well, there is no better time than the present. Don't know that there is a worse time either. But yes I would agree they have had their share of problems. And because of that more than a few have said they would not renew their membership. But that's the part I don't understand. You see, you can't make changes within any organization by not being a member. To make changes you have to be a member and work within the organization by exercising your vote and voicing your opinion. If you don't like the way things are run you can't change them by dropping out - you have to vote out the leadership and get new ones. As to why you should join ? How about because you care about the hobby and want to make it better. The magazine alone is worth the annual membership dues. That does not even count the free use of the library - ya know to get those books you can't afford or can't find for sale. And yes it does save you the membership fees if you do decide you want to have a coin authenticated or slabbed by NGC. I don't know about you, but those sound like pretty good reasons to me.[/QUOTE]
