I'm *REALLY* not trying to be mean or snarky here, but after reading your posts for the past 2 months (since I joined), I don't believe you to be qualified to give a Cub Scout advice on putting together a circulated Lincoln Memorial set in a cardboard folder. Much less investment advice on high-end coins.

Please don't consider this a slap in the face type of reply, but you are close to my age and I feel I can be a bit more upfront with you then some of the older crowd here. And I don't believe you have the knowledge, research background or grading skill (as of yet) to give advice.

You need stick around and learn more before becoming a self-professed expert. Buy a couple (or a 100) books before offering anyone advice. Learn to listen, absorb and then channel that knowledge into compitent replies, so others can see you ARE qualified to gve advice.

And I say all of this with your (any anyone whom you would be giving coin investment advice) best interests at heart.

Well said.....

Heh, well said? But she didn't even hit the target.

I am not offering to help people learn how to grade coins and etc.

I am just going to be here to share my experience thus far with what I have learned thus far.

And there is so much more to be learned my friend. I admire your confidence and bravado, but still at the age of 24 you are by no means an expert on investing.

well, the word expert is really not a great one because a lot of so called "experts" lose their client's money but hey, it's all apart of the game right?

alls i know is i started with a mild account size, turned it into a comfortable amount, had left overs for play, and bought lots of coins.

can you say that's qualified?

BNB, Please make sure you finish college and get the few credits you need to graduate. That really does mean a lot and will help you later in life. Good luck in whatever you do.

"Retiring from SemiKey/Key Date Coins after next month.."

Wow, that was quick.

Tell me, was it the Walker grade that put you over the edge?

I do like your intent to share your experiences with others (that's what most of us are here for too!)

Good luck....Mike

Not at all, I just fulfilled my quota.

I don't understand. Would you explain?

What was the realization that drove you to this decision?

Leadfoot · 11-04-2009, 10:19 PM

BNB,

Here's why I'm asking.

I went through a similar realization not long after I sold a few coins.

I suspect you recall my (and others) prodding you on this topic over the past few months. A message that you were not AT ALL receptive to -- but one that I suspect you have now learned. Selling a few coins is an eye-opening experience, and making money at them is not easy.

I don't bring this up to pat myself on the back, or tell you that I told you so, but rather in hopes that you realize that the intent of many of us in being so vocal in your threads was to try and share our own experience to help you avoid pitfalls that we have all befallen.

And it seems to me with your post, you're trying to turn a corner, and recognize this isn't so easy after all. I hope you do too...Mike

No one is gonna ask it? fine...

BnB:

You admitted that your grading isnt the best...so, how do you expect to tell a newb what coins to buy if you can't grade?

I'll have to read over your threads then. When I first got here, the community said "buy the coin, not the slab."

It seems wierd that they would contradict themselves, but we do have different members here now.

PS: Buy the coin, not the slab....
