<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ikandiggit, post: 1357831, member: 16269&quot;]Why is it that newbies always think there is somewhere to get coins cheap? </p><p><br /></p><p>When a collector finds a deal, it&#039;s usually the result of his knowledge about that particular coin or coins. That&#039;s what cherry-picking is all about. The more you know, the better the finds. </p><p><br /></p><p>It takes years of study to learn about varieties, errors, the scarcity of certain coins. Then it takes time to hunt for the coins. Take a look at the incredible coins that have been found by members here on Coin Talk. Some of them have been discoveries (that is, the first of their kind). It didn&#039;t happen by sheer luck. They knew what to look for.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can buy coins for face value at the bank. Can&#039;t get any cheaper than that. But you may have to spend months or years before finding something great. When you do, you get it for face value. </p><p><br /></p><p><i><b>He was an overnight success but it took him twenty years to get there.</b></i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
