[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3254960, member: 10461"]I started Roman Imperials in 2007 and went with VCoins dealers from the start. Though new to ancients, I had 30 years as a collector of US and World coins by that time. I suspect that foundation spared me from any [I]major[/I] mistakes. However, I will share with you an anecdote of my new collector days. When I was a kid in 1977, with only a few months collecting, I looked in the Red Book of US Coins and noticed that the 1877 Indian Head cent (key date) was far more valuable than the rest. I assumed this was because at the time it was the 100th anniversary of the coin being struck. I figured once the centenary was over and the year passed, the 1878 Indian cents would rise in value next.[/QUOTE]
