My gf likes her eggs unfertilized, and
I prefer my coins raw, irrespective of the less than transparent AOB, whatever number it may have.

Nevertheless, I am highly interested in the sort of truthful discussion when it is supported by diligent research, as found in the above link.

Excellent well written article with some humor included. I like his notes at the end.
(How dare he suggest there is greed in this country! )

I agree with the article but isn't the AOB's objective solvency and profit?

How many AOB's have closed shop after trying to be accurate, consistent, and be a guiding force in the hobby?
Unfortunately, it seems they are giving us what we "want" if we are buying it.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Great article and on the same note:


Quote:
From the ANA

The Numismatist of the Year award recognizes collectors at the regional and/or national level who have demonstrated outstanding leadership within the hobby and the ANA. The 2023 recipient is longtime collector and former Citizen's Coinage Advisory Committee member Roger W. Burdette.

Burdette started collecting by filling holes in coin folders with pocket change and searching coin rolls. In the 1970s, he pioneered accurate, high-quality photography, and by the 1990s he started to specialize in numismatic research and writing, which led to his discovery of several U.S. pattern pieces. A prolific author, he has published over 90 research articles, contributed to publications such as The Numismatist and Coin World, and written several books, including the three-part Renaissance of American Coinage series and A Guide Book of Peace dollars. Burdette is a member of the Rittenhouse Society and was on Coin World's 2021 list of the Most Influential People in Numismatics.


Well deserved and about time!
