<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1312764, member: 26302&quot;]Good advice. The biggest thing I can say is, while its fun to think you got a deal on a coin under market value, its pretty darn hard to do without superior knowledge. Most US coins its about impossible to do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Buying a quality coin is expensive. No way around that. However, I believe you will find that you tend to &quot;forget&quot; the price you paid over time and appreciate the quality more every day. Those two coins you posted Adiorio are just fantastic specimens that every collector on this board would love to own, and almost every US collector in the future will love to own. Those coins will be top dollar to buy, but its because they are and will be so demanded forever. You are a collector and get pleasure from collecting coins, and I simply believe these coins will give you much more pleasure than cheaper examples.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sounds like I am trying to make a sale for Mark, but I am not I am just commenting overall about quality. I own tens of thousands of coins, but the older I get the more I pull out the few outstanding quality coins I own and admire those more than all of the rest. </p><p><br /></p><p>Adiorio, also, I love your plan on doing circulated type. Wonderful idea. Gets your fet wet, lets you have in hand the various coins, and I think type collecting is just a great way to start. My only suggestion would be to make sure you buy nice problem free examples. The longer you own a coin the less you worry about how much you paid, and the more you appreciate the quality. There is considerable quality and value in higher end circulated type coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
