<p>[QUOTE="petro89, post: 1587791, member: 17048"]Don't get intimidated by the bad stuff that is present in this hobby though. I have been collecting coins since I was 9 which makes it 25 years now. This has been a rewarding hobby in so many ways. You do have to put some time into it though just to protect yourself from the negativity out there. There will be times you make terrific buys or maybe sell a coin for a lot more than you got it for...but monetary gain isn't the reason you should collect coins as most of the time you pay more to get a coin than you get if you were to sell it. You should do it because you like particular coins and appreciate the beauty or history behind them. You just want to learn so you don't get ripped off, because there are people out there that like the hobby for the wrong reasons and try to take advantage of people out there that don't know better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
