Shamus - When I look at the colonial group say 25 years ago and I=20
look at the colonial group today I find today of course many more=20
people in this niche than 25 years ago. You of course can back much=20
longer. When I first started (late 70's) I did not see much DEAD=20
WEIGHT. Or putting it in other terms Shamus almost everyone KNEW=20
alot and/or was a HARD CORE copper collector with little or casual=20
collecting. Additionally almost everone was quite territorial in=20
their own State Coinage area - myself in NJ's. There were no casual=20
or so-called weekend type collectors. Even Stacks auctions in the=20
mid to late 80's you would see the same dozen people - all very=20
passionate, well-learned experienced bidders each taking a slice of=20
the pie. Today Shamus the group is more diverse - how many people in=20
this group today REALLY CARE whether fingerprint linking or=20
metallurgy will be the main diagnostic tool 50 years from now ...=20
maybe a dozen of the 350 members. You need to keep this in mind=20
Shamus as I do when I post here ... sometimes the feedback is useful=20
and sometimes annoying. What may also be depressing is that the=20
knowledge behind each series has grown and with current prices it=20
really does not matter how much you know but to a large extent its=20
simply how much you got in your pocket ($$$). Twenty five years ago=20
knowing more than the other ELEVEN guys in the Auction War Room as=20
one collector I know use to call it was a big advantage - today how=20
important is this EXTRA information - minimally - at best in terms=20
of buying the so-called SLEEPER of the sale ... so Shamus - who is=20
going to spend 10 hours a week to build an E-SIG in C4 today? ...=20
really nobody ... there is no purpose anymore since there is so=20
little monetary advantage behind such an endeavor. Other than these=20
C4 specialized books which will be written which pretty much will=20
not be anymore than fine tuning all the existing varieities and=20
their diagnostics ... you can't really expect anymore today in 2006?=20
Soon people will be spending many times more for a plated 1775 C4=20
PLATED Long Neck than a cast George II contemporary counterfeit ...=20
this is the new C4 in the 21st Century Shamus ... just don't take it=20
that seriously ... just keep reading & learning & collecting ... and=20
once in awhile think about the GOOD OLD DAYS where everyone was=20
tuned in - ADVANCED - and there was no STATIC in the background <BG>.
