This newsgroup seems to be dead (was it ever alive?!?). I am new to
coin collecting and would like to see some discussion about coins
to help me in getting started. Possible topics could be: I have a coin
for sale, I need a coin, Dealers in your area, Coin show announcements 
etc...

LETS SEE SOME DISCUSSION OUT THERE

I agree.  There are many topics for discussion.

One topic that irritates me is the Olympic Commerative Coins.  I know the
athletes need money, but it seem like a ripoff to  coin collectors.  I think
this is a misuse of commerative coins.  What do all of you out there in
netland think????

I look at the payment made for these coins to the government as a
contribution to the Games.  Fine.  But my question is how this
affects after market sales of the coins?  Are dealers asking the same
price for resales?  *That* seems pretty scurilous, since the dealers 
would be obviously pocketing the extra value, not donating it to
the Olympics.
