<p>[QUOTE="andrew289, post: 901261, member: 6463"]Yes Sponge, this is a very terrifying hobby and you will make mistakes. You will buy over graded coins for to much money. You will often pay more than a coin is worth but these are things that everyone does at some point. So, if you realize that going in, that you will not always make good decisions everytime and will often pay to much for what you get then ..sit back and enjoy the ride.</p><p> </p><p>This is not an investment. It's a hobby. Hobbys are things you spend money on but dont expect much return ..so who cares if you paid $5.00 for a $1.00 buffalo nickel.</p><p> </p><p>Dont spend more than you can afford to lose and don't let the fear of getting ripped off, get you down. It's happens ever second of everyday somewhere either at a coin shop, coinshow or online. Just do your best to know what you are buying and don't take every sales pitch as the gospel truth. Some seller have been known to misrepresent coins inorder to make a sale ..even more so in these tough times.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
