<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2881510, member: 19463&quot;]Trading is a great idea but it runs into one very big problem.&nbsp; Most of us have all the &#039;beginner&#039; coins we want so the coins that I might want to get in trade would be exactly the same ones the other regulars here do not want to get rid of.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>That is where GerardV&#039;s idea comes in.&nbsp; Unfortunately, it runs into the same problem to some degree since several of our beginners have higher standards than I do about wanted coins.&nbsp; Those who collect only slabbed mint state coins find nothing they want in the ones I am finished with whether exchanged by gift, sale or trade.&nbsp; We have seen gifts given here end up on eBay.&nbsp; That occurrence tends to cut down on future gifts from that donor.&nbsp;&nbsp; It is great if you can find a &#039;equal&#039; partner or a beginner who will appreciate the coins you do not love.&nbsp; I have given, received, traded, bought and sold with other CT members but that has not been a major part of my hobby.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You pretty much declared me correct here when you announced you are ready for gold.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been playing in this hobby for over 50 years and I have three solid gold coins (and a few gold fourrees).&nbsp; I doubt we will be great trading partners.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
