<p>[QUOTE=&quot;playin4funami, post: 999056, member: 21976&quot;]I go about it a little different, I look and look and work on multiple sets a one time, when I come across a coin in the self imposed minimum condition that I am using for that set then I look at the price. if the price is more than I am willing to spend on that coin and the seller is unmovable on the price then I just go on and continue looking at other coins. I don&#039;t really start with keys or non-keys, I just take them as they come, if I do find keys or semi keys are a really great price for the grade then I buy them even if I already have them and hold them for awhile and resell when the time is right to make a profit. This money then returns to the coin collection fund for more buying power. I don&#039;t concentrate on any one type of coin when out shopping,this enables me to get the most bang for my buck as I can take advantage of sales, or stay away from buying things that are &quot;in style&quot; and commanding a premium, a year down the road or two and those premium coins are often found for half the price, cherrypicker extraordinaire!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Here&#039;s an example, the coins have been changed to protect the innocent!&nbsp; Lets say a IHC (Indian head Cent)is a hot item, and the prices start going up, But as they do the BN(buffalo nickel) slides to the wayside and prices go down, that is when I will be running around taking all the BN&#039;s I can find at a reduced price,and will just let my IHC&#039;s sit idle. Now say three years later they reverse course and the BN&#039;s are back in style as a collectible and the IHC&#039;s are coming down in price, thats when I will start putting some BN&#039;s on the market and quietly buying up what IHC&#039;s I find at great prices, or even trading one for the other, of course my own collections get the very best out of what I find and get upgraded as things happen and the culls put back out there, this is just my way of avoiding false or &quot;hot item&quot; premiums, and it works pretty well, it doesn&#039;t fill sets overnight, but it is a patience thing and it can be frustrating at times.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
