<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Inspector43, post: 3332941, member: 89213&quot;]One thing you will find on these threads is the habit of reading one piece and not considering the entire thread and how that piece came to be.</p><p>The feeling that I got out of this thread was that &quot;the hobby&quot; was teaching newcomers how to buy coins without getting cheated. I feel like we should teach how to find the right coins for the direction the newcomer wants to take the hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>From my initial post:</p><p>&quot;We need to supply the tools, mechanics, education and encouragement.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>My follow-up post to [USER=97585]@1916D10C[/USER]: I think you read more into my statement than I intended. I have a very substantial accumulation of coins. I give many of them away each year to young people that I hope will start. I just gave away 5 Twentieth Century Type Sets to some young folks (1 cent to $1). Actually, some of the coins were late 1800&#039;s. My point was generalizing about the instant gratification this generation displays. Didn&#039;t intend to rub anyone the wrong way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
