<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom B, post: 882826, member: 11854&quot;]Obviously, there can be good coins found from nearly any source. However, you should always arm yourself with knowledge <i>before </i>you begin a search or actually purchase a coin. Some of my best buys have been via ebay, but at the same time ebay is more of a wild west than most dealers. Conversely, some dealers are wonderful, educated people who will take the time to convey their knowledge and attempt to treat others in the manner that they would like to be treated, but then there are dealers who are only looking at the bottom line and do not care how they achieve greater financial gain. Flea markets are almost always a bad choice to buy coins, but even with that warning there can be had the rare choice piece purchased at a favorable price. Lastly, there is no need to ever let an outside reason force one to build a registry set unless that is something that the individual desires to do for their own reasons.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I like collecting coins and it has given me years of enjoyment while allowing me to meet quite a few wonderful folks, but at the same time I believe that the discipline to learn, plan and have patience will help any collector or dealer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
