[QUOTE="Cincimatti, post: 24715805, member: 16004"]What a nice compliment! Thank you! But, you're doing the right thing. Better to get your feet wet than your head soaked. Join a coin club, go to coin shows. Just be fine-tuned into seeing who is really sincere and who isn't. I had some new "friends" all convince me that a trade dollar I got from my aunt was counterfeit, so I was relieved when one offered to buy it for $20. Knowing them a little better now, and seeing how they behave and speak about others, I was foolish to have trusted them. (That's why I'm not crying that the one sold me an 1892 (or 96?) Barber quarter, for $7.00, but missed the "s" on the reverse! Baaa-phooey!) I hope you find true mentors and enthusiastic collectors to guide you, and not a just a band of opportunistic Jawas. Lord knows, they abound![/QUOTE]
