[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 562838, member: 16510"][b]You should after study and learning to grade be able to[/b] You should after study and learning to grade be able to get coins at about 30% off of those prices but, you will need to be selective and patient often times and that's not on every single coin. 30% off Trends or Coins prices is only a rule of thumb and is an average across the board. Some being 40& and some being 20%. Plus there is no free lunch - I have never known anyone including dealers who have not bought coins for too much, that were over-graded and sometimes cleaned or otherwise damaged. That is how we learn - without making these mistakes it's impossible to learn which to buy and which to pass on. You can view auctions, study catalogs, look at eBay and all the other sites in the world but when it comes down to buying "that coin", "it's all you baby". I learn better lessons when I'm wrong than I ever could when I'm right anyway and being right is "way over rated" - my most successful ventures were pure luck and serendipity and being in the right place at the right time - I generally didn't have much to do with it anyway![/QUOTE]
