<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1268544, member: 31533"]Wow! My eyes are opening...but seriously, one of the reasons I didn't really get into coins that much years ago is because the few times I came in contact with coin dealers, I felt like I didn't fit in. Not that I wanted any big nurturing experience, but a little knowledge shared or a few questions about what my interests might be and some sharing of a coin or two (showing me it with it's attributes pointed out) with what the dealer felt about that to boost a possible future collector in their midst would have been more appropriate. Anyhow, probably that's TMI. But it's a thought when you have a moment to spare and you don't. Maybe you've lost the future collector at that point.</p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, back to the present. I don't have too many coins to send to get graded and I have no idea what I will have that way down the line. Although, it's a "favor" a dealer gives to someone he doesn't know, sometimes favors get translated into future patronage (i.e. purchases from) to that dealer. At least that's the world I know. Patronize the stores and people that do right by you. So, if it means me finding a few more coins and waiting, that's what I'll do, or maybe I will join a club where someone acts the way that boxeldercoins does. Or maybe I'll find someone a bit farther away from me that I can still drive to to get this done. All I know is that I am excited that I've made a commitment to get my '99 WAM done by PCGS and I'm a child of the present in that I hate delayed gratification!</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope to hear more thoughts on this from you good folks here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
