<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moneycostingmemoney, post: 2696459, member: 86367&quot;][USER=36230]@BooksB4Coins[/USER] you brought a lot of light to some things I wasn&#039;t really thinking about. [USER=24314]@Insider[/USER] s post read like some stuff I don&#039;t have patience for so I reacted without tact. [USER=24314]@Insider[/USER] i apologize if I mistook the intent of your question. I will not make excuses but try to make it right. It was childish and you could have just been showing me a different angle that I need to keep in mind. I will delete those posts and this section of this one if you wish.</p><p>[USER=36230]@BooksB4Coins[/USER] there may be some truth in your assessment. First, this is the Internet and I shouldn&#039;t trust everything I read. I started this thread to fish for a lot of opinions and feedback and then find the common themes and investigate them a little more. Second, I&#039;m not going into this hobby assuming I can make a truckload of cash because this collecting of coins is a new thing I discovered. I acknowledge the fact that there are many, many, many people better suited to turn it into a business venture and do well with it. I don&#039;t expect to gain the knowledge required to be proficient in this hobby from books or magazines alone, nor do I expect it overnight. I haven&#039;t entered this hobby intending to churn and burn raw coins to cash so please hear me out. Numerous posts on here have made me realize the importance of being able to grade coins yourself. My work is built on trusting standards and gauges so much that I forgot that they aren&#039;t infallible and I thank you, and the many other posters, for that reminder. I know that I am the greenest of newbies in here and am not about to make assumptions that are going to cost me a lot of money, time or face. I&#039;m a single dad that understands the neccesity and importance of a greenback. Now to slow things down and address your quote about the jeffersons statement...let me clarify from everything you replaced with dots through &quot;to NGC they will go.&quot; </p><p>&nbsp;...When I find other Jeffersons that warrant the cost of grading and slabbing my provider of choice will probably be NCG.... Although, without your editing, my statement wasn&#039;t a good example of the message you were trying to convey I get the overall point you were trying to make. Learn from sources with integrity and don&#039;t try to rush it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
