<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 7629874, member: 4920"]Cleaned coins sell well, too, and all over the Internet. But it's hardly a trend in the hobby, and it's certainly not a trend among seasoned collectors. Same goes, here. You want to collect strike doubling, do it, nobody's stopping you. But don't come on here and wildly maintain the hobby is changing for it. There are newbies dropping in and out of here all the time, some even trying to learn a darn thing or two, believe it or not. We're constantly having to differentiate their "double dies" as strike doubling for them, the very thing you're maintaining we're collecting, now, because this hobby we all enjoy has somehow changed. Well, we're not, and it didn't. But anything extreme is collectible, and always has been. Plating bubbles and grease-fills are collectible when they're extreme, as well, as is, of course, strike doubling. But that's the end of it. No hobby is changing for it. It's always been these "freaks" sell. That's no revelation or divine inspiration. But they're still freaks. And let's not mislead the less-knowledgeable and unenlightened, coming on here and trying hard to find their way, into thinking otherwise. There's my only beef. In a nut...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
