<p>[QUOTE=&quot;costello, post: 1589873, member: 42025&quot;]Just to clarify, I hope I&#039;m not being condescending, and I&#039;ll go out on a limb and guess the dealer wasn&#039;t trying to be either.&nbsp; I&#039;m new to the hobby, and a lot of the most helpful coin collectors, even dealers, have told me to stay away from the expensive stuff until I know what I&#039;m getting myself into.&nbsp; It&#039;s sort of ironic that people I&#039;d willingly give my money to have said, &quot;Wait!&quot;&nbsp; If I wanted to purchase a shiny gold coin for my son for his birthday, I can imagine dealers pointing me in the direction of an unc. president dollar for $3 instead of purchasing a $500 coin.&nbsp; My ignorance would probably show in my face and mannerisms, they&#039;d assess me as not truly appreciating the coin as much as a long-term, more invested collector, and they&#039;d politely steer me towards something cheaper, but will get the job done.&nbsp; It&#039;s kind of like scene in the comic book art-house in Unbreakable, except less insulting.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m just trying to figure out the vibe the original poster is sending.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
