Chiming in on the hot issue of the day

I am not judging the merits of what "namvette68" is proposing. Neither am I unsympathetic to the plight of other collectors forced to sell their collections to make ends meet. The economy is as it is and we are all in it together. All of us, if we are not selling coins to live, have at least thought about the circumstances that would force us to sell. What I am suggesting is that Collectors Society has other forums where this kind of thing should be taken up. The chat boards seem designed perfectly for the back and forth dialog that will be needed to get this thing off the ground. If what namvette68 is suggesting gets going there will need to be significant off line discussion of how the plan is administered. To get things started I do not fault namvette68 for using a journal entry to get the "word" out. But after getting the word out, things need to move to a more appropriate forum, where haggling over the details can be done. For what it's worth I do appreciate the points CPM & C made regarding community.
