I definitely understand that selling a $5 Liberty in MS64 grade for $2,500 vs. selling me an AU58 example for $200 makes the dealer a lot more profit. That does make good business sense. What does not make sense is that if he sold me a coin for $200, I may be back in there one day to spend that $2,500...the guy won't have a chance to find out now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh well. It just seems like with a lot of hobbies, there are more people out there who think that their way is right, and that's it. I just don't get that. Most of you on Coin Talk are great! I like that everyone can express their ideas and there's lots of learning that occurs and everyone, for the most part, is genuine. Now, maybe that's because it's the internet. But one way or another, I think it's a good thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, one more thing after reading Speedy's last comment. I guess that's why it's better for me to buy at shows or from somewhere like Teletrade. At shows, there's bound to be somebody with something I want. On Teletrade, they get such a large amount of coins to sell that I can find my coins on there too...along with all of the high grade stuff. Also, don't get me wrong...It's not that I have anything against people that collect high grade coins at all. It's just that for me, at this time, it makes more sense for me to collect a little bit lower grade coins and still be able to put together a nice little collection. I sure hope I can buy some high grade gold coins one day! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
