<p>[QUOTE="Jedimetals, post: 1690007, member: 47323"]<span style="color: #333333"><font face="lucida grande">Yes it was fun, educational, and the thing with me is this: I do not have the income or means to aquire bullion, Morgans, '69s Lincoln cents, or anything professionally graded. To me, a $5 profit on a coin is Great! I am trying to get a feel for this new hobby of mine, and have as little loss as possible. So, when I go trade up a dozen 2 centers for some scattered coins worth a buck a piece, I win in my eyes. Yea, yea, a buck is a buck. But my goal is to arm myself with some deep knowledge of the hobby in its entirety before I start making investments. This is my boyhood treasure hunt encarnate, and I love learning. Just a few moments ago, I learned from a CT member who posted on a thread of mine, that die varieties can be extremely subtle, and to keep a keen eye. Thank you to him. And thank you, collect89, for your reply. Compared to 99.875% of the regulars on here, I deal in "chump change". But to me, as long as Im not losing money, I must be doin something right. And one day, I will be one of the bigger coin guys. Just not now. Thanks to all who advise and help me out.</font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
