<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 206522, member: 3726&quot;]At least I think I am a collector - yes I do track my coins and every now and then I price what something I have might sell for.&nbsp; I have actually sold exactly one coin - 1/2 oz AGE that was all by its lonesome and yes I made a small profit on it.&nbsp; I buy a lot of stuff directly from the mint - so that means I have probably just as much that I have lost money on than made money on.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And when I post a picture of a coin I expect people to be honest - so if they say cleaned and tell me why they think it is cleaned then I might learn something.&nbsp; So people who post pictures ask for opinions should not be offended when they are told, cleaned, dipped etc.&nbsp; It also does not mean they are correct - a coin in hand is different than in a picture.&nbsp; I do know in some cases in order for me to own a coin it will probably have to have some kind of problem. And no - my scope only goes to 200x, but usually 60x is good enough.&nbsp; I have found that this saves me eye strain - the only way for &quot;me&quot; to see some of the diagnostics is with my scope. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>If I thougt I could buy 10k worth of coins tomorrow and flip then for 11k I probably would. All I know is that I do not have the knowledge to do that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
