<p>[QUOTE="Bambam8778, post: 2873213, member: 80341"]I was just catching up on my youtube channel subscriptions and watching one of the couple channels that I like watching (blueridgesilverhound) and he was talking about trying to put together a type set and he was schooling us on how to make money flipping silver halves. I don't deal in silver halves but it was very informative and also the idea behind it very useful (to me at least). The other day I was witness to an individual on this forum who was extremely upset with the path that he felt the younger generation was taking in regards to coins. Although I feel he went about it wrong, he had some very valid points. </p><p>I bring up both of these points because I'm wondering, personally, what is the happy medium where a new collector (no matter their age) should focus on the pure knowledge side of this hobby and also the flipping side to be able to grow their collection. I coin roll hunt different denominations, mostly cents, but I am looking to make a little profit so I can start my own collection. ALONG THE WAY, I am also taking the time to learn what I'm looking for and understand I need more knowledge from others on here and in my coin club. Is it totally wrong for someone to want to just flip for profit? If they are looking for that margin, are they really destroying the hobby? I mean they have to know what they're looking for so they've gained some knowledge along the way. What are your thoughts? I think if we really take a good hard long look at it all, we can learn from each other. Flipper or ANA library brain child.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
