[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 553048, member: 705"]Sure the coin market is a buyers market...you just have to reserach it and find out in what areas. Like I've said before---slow down, and if you have to buy something, limit the cost to under $20. I'm not trying to be mean, but you don't know what you are doing. Take time to research the coins you are wanting to buy. Buy some books and read them - The ANA Grading Guide, Photograde, and the PCGS Grading Guide would all be good starting places. Then read, read, and read....and I don't mean read ebay items. Take the time to learn what you are wanting to collect and you will be a powerful buyer. If you don't, you are going to be taken, and sell at a great lost. Gold isn't less risk - in some ways I would considder it a bigger risk. You aren't ready to buy a rarity. Again--I'm not trying to be rude or anything. Almost every person who collects coins started the same way you did. Some learned very fast that going down that road without knowledge is wrong, and changed their ways. Others kept on going, and in the end, quit collecting. It is up to you - Speedy[/QUOTE]
