<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeepfreak81, post: 3031465, member: 93888&quot;]While I may not technically be a new collector, I&#039;m new to taking this beyond filling coin folders and saving a few others that I like here and there.&nbsp; I&#039;m interested in learning more, learning how to grade a coin, and so on.&nbsp; I&#039;m not looking to make a quick flip, but I am interested in paying a fair price and hopefully get some sort of return if I sell it in the future (even if it&#039;s a little less than I paid).</p><p><br /></p><p>I also do a little bit of roll hunting, if I&#039;m looking for errors, I really only pull dates aside that have known errors and then I examine them through my loupe and compare to the pictures I find online.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, after saying all that, I don&#039;t think that all new collectors want to put forth the effort required to really learn things.&nbsp; Maybe in time, they will, maybe not.&nbsp; I also know that as a new member to this forum, and as I&#039;m learning things, I&#039;m likely to post items that have been posted in the past on occasion.&nbsp; I may even come across something that looks odd to me, but I just can&#039;t find an example somewhere.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been on the &quot;expert&quot; end of things in other forums (Jeeps for example) and know that it can be a bit irritating to get the same silly questions over and over so I try to be saavy to that fact before posting and do a little of my own detective work.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think collecting is &quot;dead&quot; or that everyone is in it to flip coins, but I do think that the internet has brought it more mainstream and that draws attention from people who don&#039;t understand that you rarely get rich by collecting coins or finding that needle in the haystack.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
