Instead of spending small sums on low grade coins, you should learn more so that you can make better choices. </p><p><br /></p><p>How did you decide to enter the hobby of numismatics? What is your attraction to old coins? For me, it is the history of the time and place. The coins are representative artifacts of their cultural context. </p><p><br /></p><p>Trading coins is usually worse than just buying. (Someone will tell you another story about the time... but it is about <b>the one time </b>that trading paid off -- for them.) The reason why is based on the facts of life.
