<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joshua Lemons, post: 24838364, member: 82388&quot;]I am transitioning my collection to a mainly graded one and have learned to grade decently, though my collection is a world coin one.&nbsp; These days, I buy coins specifically in mind to have them graded.&nbsp; My weakness comes with mint state pieces.&nbsp; I am usually able to tell a lot mint state from a high mint state, but those grades in between, let&#039;s say 62-68 are the ones I normally get wrong in GTGs.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve had fairly good luck so far at NGC with interesting straight grades, but I do own a few details coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just recently I&#039;ve begun to attend coin shows and interested with dealers, which is occasionally a hit or miss.&nbsp; I do an immense amount of time connecting with fellow collectors on Instagram and of course here in CoinTalk, which keeps me passionate about collecting and occasionally leads me to acquire a previously unknown piece.&nbsp; I think many consider numismatics to be a lonely hobby, but since I found coin forums, Instagram and coin shows this isn&#039;t the case![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
