<p>[QUOTE="coinman0456, post: 1270554, member: 18177"]I wouldn't get overly frustrated to the point that your considering quitting being an active " Coin Collector " . You must look at every coin you purchase as a learning opportunity. There are some areas I would caution you on. One being Buying " Raw " coins sight-unseen, or in other words " Not in-hand " . Even the most seasoned collector has had occasion to have " Buyer's Remorse " from time to time, when making purchases of " Raw" coins via venues such as EBAY. Accurately grading coins from photo's is a " Coin Flip ", because of the enhancement technology sometimes used by unscrupulous individuals. While there are policies that allow for buyers to return for refund, items that don't meet the suggested grade or state of preservation, having to deal with situations as this more than once, is frustrating. For a New Collector as yourself, I would advise you to seek out local coin clubs and coin shows in your area, and become an active member or participant and make some friends and contacts. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would also strongly suggest that you learn to practice " PATIENCE " .
