[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 123508, member: 112"][b]Cherrypickin[/b] "Cherrypickin’ in the numismatic hobby is simply the art of buying the best item possible for the least amount of money. The art has been around since coin collecting began. Years ago, collectors and dealers alike would examine the inventories of dealers in search for coins to fill a want list. Those doing the searching would naturally "cherrypick" the best coin possible. Only in the past ten to fifteen years has the term "cherrypickin’" been commonly applied to the variety segment of the hobby. Today, the term implies that someone with specialized knowledge of a certain variety will search for and buy the variety for the price of the "normal" coin. No single individual in the hobby can know everything about everything.
