<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1746052, member: 41863&quot;]I&#039;ve been very fortunate with the coins I have purchased. Up until this point I have picked out some nice coins and haven&#039;t really regretted any items I have bought. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have relied on the TPG opinion quite a bit as I do half way expect them to know and recognize issues I may not have known to look for. All in all though I only buy coins I like and I actually do pass on quite a few coins that I see. I believe I am getting to the point now were I can recognize coins that I want and ones I want no part of and am picking up on how to be more selective. My mindset has been &#039;I have to have this coin right now or I might not ever get a chance to see one like it again&#039; and the more I hunt and shop around the more I realize there is almost always another similar coin somewhere out there. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think it also goes hand in hand with the old adage of going around and handling as many coins as you can. I now see the benefit of shopping around and seeing the same or similar coin in 4 out of 5 shops. Most certainly helps the perspective of being more selective in which coins you purchase. And also which ones should take priority. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s like do I buy that 1945-P walker in an MS 65/66 grade which I&#039;ve seen 200 of this week or should I maybe buy a nice XF bust half instead that I&#039;ve only seen 20 of the last month. In that example I would obviously go with the Bust half now, but I might not have 6 months ago when I thought 65 Walkers were tough to come across. </p><p><br /></p><p>That really is good advice when you hear to look around at as many shops and handle as many coins as you can.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
