<p>[QUOTE="wabcollector, post: 1140923, member: 30073"]You are right in that experience is obviously the best teacher...but I'd highly recommend that you get to know at least one dealer really well (could be local, could be via the Internet or just phone contact). Let them know your interests AND admit you are just starting and confused. If they are worth the effort they will go a long way to help educate you. I don't collect Walkers, but love their look and checking around, I think you did ok. You didn't steal the coin and you may have found one slightly less, but if <u>you</u> like the coin and <u>you</u> are satisfied with it's grade and eye appeal, then you are fine. Read! Subscribe to Coin World, don't ignore Red Book, but understand that coin prices fluctuate a lot based upon condition, demand, series popularity and other factors. In fact Dave Bowers just had a wonderful couple of articles in CW about this very issue....what is a coin worth? If you can find them, read them. You will see that even an expert like Dave beats this question around from time to time. If you want to spend the money, subscribe to the Grey Sheet. That is what dealers use to buy and sell. Not cheap but a very good place to go to get pricing ideas. Good luck. Nice coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
