<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Hughes, post: 2052039, member: 73184&quot;]Well if my grammer is in question OK I&#039;m on my phone. I made the comment &quot;Buy the book before the coin&quot;. It has nothing to do with getting a union job. Lol it is a statement made. You don&#039;t rebuild a car engine without knowing what the specs are or that to torq specific parts. Then again this has nothing to do with cars. </p><p>&nbsp;You all sound like the people that know so much but can&#039;t put into something to get more out of it. </p><p>&nbsp;The point I made or tried to make is this. If you buy the book (whichever book fits your needs) when you have that roll or group of coins setting in front of you, how do you know what is good to keep and what is not? If you don&#039;t have a book you have to look up each and every date and mint mark to see if what you have is worth keeping. If you had a book and at least looked it over before you started you would at least have a clue as to what you were looking for. As for prices? Whatbare you going to do look them up on eBay? Most items on eBay do Not sale for market prices. A new book that just came from the printers and into your hands (your right) is already a year old. I don&#039;t use a book for prices. Having a book does many things for me. I can look up varieties that can make a junk coin worth a lot of money, but without the book you wouldn&#039;t know to look for it. Which means that you will take that expensive coin and give it away or use it for a soda. I don&#039;t know everything there is to know about a lot of things so by reading I can see what coins to look for, how they were made and why they can be worth more then its counter part. I don&#039;t collect coins and paper money just to sell it tomorrow. I collect because I like to know about them. I&#039;m sure that if I asked most of you about a specific coin you would have to look it up or you would just keep scrolling because it doesn&#039;t matter to you anyway. </p><p>&nbsp;The more a person knows about what it is they are dealing with the more enjoyment they will get out of it. As one person said if you are buying rolls what good does a book do for you? Well how do you know to buy that roll? Why not the roll next to it? If the roll has dates and mint marks how would you know to take the roll marked 1909 s vdb? Well either you were told about them or you read about it. Most things don&#039;t just pop up in your head and say (without knowing) take me I&#039;m worth more. You have to know (unless you just get lucky. Some one had to know what they were talking about in order to tell you. </p><p>&nbsp;If you want to play the luck game its on you. I my self like to know something about what I&#039;m doing before I jump into it. If the speed limit isn&#039;t posted how do you know what you can do without getting a ticket? You don&#039;t! </p><p>&nbsp;So you buy that coin or roll of coins and now you want to sell them. A person with money asks you a question, how do you answer them? Daaaa if you want it buy it if you don&#039;t I don&#039;t care. That will sell your stuff every time. Well that makes you very worthy of most peoples business. </p><p>&nbsp;Someone said the longer you do it the better you are. Yes that&#039;s true but you can do whatever as long as you want but you aren&#039;t going to have your questions answered by doing something a long time. Lets be real people if you like your hobby you should want to know about it. If you are doing it as a get rich quick skeem good luck. If you know about what you are doing people will come back, if you tell them it doesn&#039;t matter buy it if you want it doesn&#039;t matter to me. Your item may sell this time but when that person needs something worth some money they want someone that knows what they are doing. I&#039;m not going to have surgery by a doctor that hasn&#039;t been to school.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
