<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1591835, member: 24633&quot;]First, you should never try to compare your collection to what others may have. Some of us have been collecting for decades......Doug for centuries......and the younger collectors can look forward to establishing a career and having greater disposable income down the road. </p><p><br /></p><p>The biggest advantage that you and others have, today, is the instant access via the internet to information that decades ago wasn&#039;t available so readily. What you are able to learn in a matter of a few hours took weeks, months, even years for some of us.</p><p><br /></p><p>Granted, you&#039;re not likely to find too many rare coins searching rolls and pocket change, but I must caution you about buying raw coins on eBay until you have gained enough experience to detect problem coins and counterfeits. That same caution should be trebled when using Craigslist because it is almost totally unregulated. Not only will you find disreputable sellers on CL, but the criminal element as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>In time, as your income increases, you will be able to afford those rarer coins and be willing to pay the premiums that are associated with them. For now, just have fun, and if you should happen to find a rare coin in your searches, it will be the icing on the cake.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
