<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dimedude1, post: 380086, member: 14926&quot;]I agree with the last post.&nbsp; Also, there is nothing wrong buying a moderate priced coin -- it gives you some ownership, which gets you more involved into this great hobby.&nbsp; Also, I agree you should read, research, check out posts, etc. - no doubt about.&nbsp; But reading and researching all the time can be a little boring, and getting involved in a purchase provides a different educational perspective and you will learn a lesson or two from it. Not to mention it&#039;s fun.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Moderate purchasing (that is, a purchase that will not break your bank and will not make you lose sleep if you made a mistake) also&nbsp; provides communication and more knowledge from dealers.&nbsp; If you go to a coin shop, and you spend a lot of time talking to a dealer, you gain lots of information beyond and books and the websites.&nbsp; If you want to continue maintaining this information source and keep a good dealer-customer relationship, for common courtesy a moderate purchase (at a minimum) is a good idea.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was at a shop yesterday and had a pleasant conversation with a dealer.&nbsp; I could not find anything significant I liked, but I found a couple of nice common dated uncirculated Franklin halves.&nbsp; The dealer was very friendly to me and my 3 year old daughter, and I liked what I purchased, and it was also a gesture to thank him for his time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
