<p>[QUOTE="David Hughes, post: 2047950, member: 73184"]I can see your points on getting a couple of cheap coins first, but I myself think that the book should be bought first. If you don't know what you are buying why buy? </p><p> Most people if they don't buy the book first never will. Then after buying a handful of coins think that they are the man/woman, when in fact they don't know anything. When you have the book you know what to look for and what a price should be (even if the book is old). Without the book what appears to be a cheap coin can be in fact way to expensive. The thing that gets me the most is when these people that haven't bought the book keeps the same words on file (" What's this worth any information"). I don't mind once in awhile but not all the time from the same people. A clear case of people that know nothing want to know nothing but wants to make a killing off of coins. They get their coins and clean them and mishandle them just because they have NO clue (I have seen people tell new collectors " its OK to clean your coins it doesn't hurt them" and if it isn't an MS 65 its junk get rid of it" ((lol that one kills me if not MS 65 its junk. )). I tell people that just because it isn't the Beat coin in the shop doesn't mean it isn't collected. Their are so many people playing in coins (because of the riches they will make) that some can only afford the lower grade coins. If all coins are junk when less then MS65 their are a lot of $100,000 coins that need to be cooked? Lol</p><p><br /></p><p> Again buy the book then the coin! That is my side.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
