<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RedTiger, post: 757671, member: 19098&quot;]Collectors that do well financially tend to share certain traits. They have a great eye for grading, they have good contacts so as to get access to quality coins at competitive prices, they truly love the hobby and spend endless hours on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a much larger group that loses money on their coins. They too tend to share certain traits. They tend to buy coins for investment. They usually don&#039;t know how to grade, don&#039;t want to learn. They have limited contacts, often buying from a single source at above market prices. </p><p><br /></p><p>So the answer in terms of buying typical coins at full retail prices, is NONE. A collector will do well to break even after 5 years or more, if they buy at retail, sell at wholesale. A person needs an edge in terms of grading skill, or contacts, or market knowledge to do much better than that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
