[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 3160518, member: 46237"]This is the most important piece of advice in this thread. It's also not something you can just pick up and do. It takes years of study to get any good at this hobby - you have to have a passion for it. If you put in the time to learn about the coins you're interested in and the market, you can make money within your area of specialization. I'm not sure what the experience is like for other collectors, but I would imagine it is similar to mine. There are coins I buy to make money on, when bargains present themselves - overall I do well on those.
