<p>[QUOTE="lardan, post: 11609278, member: 138663"]Someone mentioned the word in their response and it was patience. To me decide what coin you want and spend a few days looking at their selling prices. If buying raw remember if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Remember to buy the coin, not the slab. Sometimes for a slabbed coin you might be saving quite a bit to drop a grade. Since my goals are very long term sometimes a MS 66 looks as good or better than the MS 67 I'll go with the 66. </p><p><br /></p><p>It helps me to be patient to look for two to three coins at the same time. That helps since I have quite a bit of looking to do avoiding getting bored looking at the same coin for days.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back a couple of months ago a coin I was really watching was that world war 2 privy mark ASE. They were selling in the 70 grade for 1500 to as high as 2200. I stuck to my guns, being very patient, and got a 70 deep cameo for under $500.00 with shipping. I know some people may think that is too high, but it has maintained a high price for a couple of years now and I really wanted this coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
