Message:: [QUOTE="mcrow24, post: 1462508, member: 38505"]I tried defending you a bit in this thread because I do think the coins are probably worth more than Doug and Book are saying but you seriously cannot take information that you don't want to hear. I always love when people whip out formal education as some sort of qualification for a hobby that cannot be learned via formal education. Perhaps a history degree or something like that could help you be a better numismatist but much of the hobby is based on seeing and studying coins, so you're degree is largely invalid around here. I bet there are people here with more impressive educational backgrounds as well, so we probably don't want to go down that road. You think your coins are worth $28, then try to sell them for that and see what happens. You also don't need to get snarky about all of this (not that you're the only one being snarky), people here are trying to help you out. Maybe they're right, maybe they're wrong no need to attack them or put them down because you don't like their estimates. In a case like this, a simple "I respectfully disagree" (and leave it at that) should be enough to get you point across without being snarky or trying to put down their level of knowledge on coins (I think they are actually quite knowledgeable from what I read). The great thing about the hobby is that nobody really knows what a coin will sell for until it is sold.[/QUOTE]
