[QUOTE="clembo, post: 296269, member: 8033"]Hamman, Sounds like you have a great thing going there but PLEASE take into heart what others have mentioned. There is a moral responsability as Roto mentioned. Think about it BEFORE you collected. If you had a 1921 Morgan Dollar and someone offered you $1.50 would you take it or be like most non collectors and think "this is really rare"? As for "taking care of your coins" you may be able to do that BUT if 5 guys know you're taking $100 to school to buy coins could same 5 kick your butt and take your money? I suggest taking your venture cautiously. DO get in touch with the parents and DO your transactions off campus. Your home, their home etc. You're still in your teens dude don't make a bad name for yourself. As more people learn about what you do the potential for more bad comes into play. If parents start losing coins while you gain coins you have tarnished your own name EVEN if it wasn't you. Food for thought and a big meal at that.[/QUOTE]
