Somewhere on the Internet, I stumbled upon a platform for communicating coin collecting. A Tibetan friend is showing off his treasure - a medium-sized Yongli one-point sample. Despite its time, this coin retains its unique historical charm. At this time, a netizen who had just started expressed his strong interest in this coin, hoping to get it with a more favorable **.
However, the response of the owner of the goods made people feel uncomfortable: "1600 yuan, no bargaining." In the face of such a response, netizens seemed a little helpless, he said that he had just come into contact with coin collecting for a short time, and hoped to be able to reduce it a little**. But the owner of the goods replied coldly: "You said no, didn't you see it?" If you can't afford it, don't play and go buy your bargain. ”
I was struck by such words. Numismatic collecting is supposed to be a fun and communicative field, but when some collectors have rare items in their hands, they start to become arrogant and disdainful. They forget that every novice player is a new blood in the field and an important force to promote the sustainable development of this field. When these novice players leave out of apathy and arrogance, it will ultimately hurt the entire numismatic community.
Numismatic collecting, a seemingly elegant field, is actually not a high threshold. As long as you are interested and have a certain economic foundation, you can step into this field. However, it is precisely because of the relatively low threshold that it has also led to chaos in this field. In order to maximize profits, some unscrupulous businesses do not hesitate to create fakes, exaggerate publicity, malicious hype and other means to deceive consumers. These actions not only harm the interests of consumers, but also have a serious impact on the reputation of the entire numismatic community.
In this seemingly thriving coin collecting market, there are very few groups of people who can really be called "players". Most people just blindly follow the trend, pursue popular varieties, pay attention to the rise and fall of **, and ignore the historical value and cultural connotation of the coin itself.
They don't care about the variety, the minting process, the historical background, etc., they only care about whether the coin can be sold for a good price and whether they can find the next pick-up. Such a mentality and behavior is undoubtedly a desecration of numismatic collecting.
I once met one such fountain who went around asking around with a **Double Flag Coin**. When I told him that the coin wasn't worth much, he was visibly disappointed.
However, it wasn't long before he came back to me with the same coin and asked me **. It turned out that he saw some false articles and exaggerated propaganda on the Internet, and mistakenly thought that the coin was worth 1 million. He looked around for someone who "knew the goods" to verify his fantasies, but in the end he fell into **.
Such examples are not uncommon in the world of numismatic collecting. Many people are misled by false information and exaggerated propaganda and blindly pursue popular varieties and coins. They ignore the essence of numismatic collecting—the love and inheritance of history and culture. When these bubbles burst, they realize that the coins in their hands are not worth that much money, and may even be worthless fakes.
The chaos in the world of numismatic collecting is not only reflected in the behavior of individuals, but also in the operation of the industry as a whole.
In order to attract attention and traffic, some anchors do not hesitate to exaggerate publicity and create rumors; In order to maximize profits, some spring dealers do not hesitate to go back on their word and sell fake goods; In order to earn more handling fees and advertising fees, some platforms do not hesitate to collude with merchants and manipulate the market**; In order to expand their market share and make more profits, some rating companies do not hesitate to lower their rating standards and proliferate favors.
These behaviors not only harm the interests of consumers, but also pose a serious threat to the healthy development of the entire coin collecting industry.
In the face of such chaos and problems, we can't help but ask: is numismatic collecting really as prosperous as it seems? The answer is clearly no. Behind the prosperity lies many problems and challenges: market irregularities, inadequate supervision, information asymmetry, lack of integrity, and so on.
These problems not only affect the healthy development of numismatic collecting, but also make many people who really love this field feel disappointed and helpless.
