[QUOTE="spock1k, post: 320549, member: 7043"]Let me give you a little advice of my own. I feel i should tell you this so you can put the no pain no gain motto in perspective. If you sell expensive coins just to see how you are doing in terms of grading you are making a mistake. A) you dont buy expensive coins usually to just flip them over you keep it for a few months/ years B) if your coins are good once you sell them they are gone and you will have to break your head hard to find them again especially if you have a pref for certain kinds of coins C) You should always have an SME to advise you whose opinions you trust no matter how good/great you are I believe i have a good eye for picking out coins and this has been validated by SME's who have nothing to gain or lose whether i put $10k in the hobby or walk away from it tomorrow. Everyone learns from making mistakes but thats not the only way to learn. A very wise man once told me if you are looking at the market to teach you something the only thing it will teach you is that you havent learned. P.S all of the above was submitted with all due respect. I felt that I should at least give you the other side of the coin so you can determine what is best for you.[/QUOTE]
