<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 3063775, member: 36230&quot;]Awesome! Good attitude and glad to hear it. We get lots of folks coming here with no other desire than to make money, so please forgive me for covering what may not apply to you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now that I know where you&#039;re coming from it&#039;s easier to make suggestions. One that comes to mind based upon the above post is that rarity and value are not automatically connected. Case in point: the 1909-S VDB Lincoln, which is quite valuable even though it is far from rare. No, you&#039;re not going to find one in circulation, but there isn&#039;t a second in any day in which hundreds are not available for sale. The reason said coin is so valuable is, quite simply, it&#039;s popularity. The fact that there is and long has been strong demand for the coin is what drives prices even though there are many other coins that are much more rare yet they do not enjoy the same high prices. When it comes to rarity, a coin&#039;s survival estimate is what matters, but perhaps I&#039;m getting a little ahead of the game here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like I said earlier or in another one of your threads, now is the time to invest in learning. Fortunately you live in a time where there&#039;s an incredible amount of information so easily available at the press of a button, and will make the journey much easier on you than it was for we dinosaurs. However, just be aware that there&#039;s a lot of poor advice to outright misinformation out there, so be careful taking what you find via google as if gospel. If unsure of something or if you have questions, simply ask the board. There&#039;s a good group of guys here who will bend over backwards to help those genuinely trying to learn. Just be sure to put your thick skin on before signing in... just in case. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
