<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BigTee44, post: 2385156, member: 41883&quot;]Yes I do try and flip coins to pay for my hobby of collecting coins. Do I keep every coin I buy, absolutely not. Do I sell every coin I buy, absolutely not. I never thought there was anything wrong with buying and selling to try and expand my collection. I know I&#039;m not the only one in here who does it, so I&#039;m not sure why I&#039;m being called out. </p><p><br /></p><p>Is cointalk not a place where people can come and ask questions without a biased opinion as to why they&#039;re asking? I&#039;ve already bought the coin and I don&#039;t have much experience in certain series and the way they tone. Some coins will tone different ways and I&#039;ve seen seated dimes and quarters with similar toning. I&#039;m not in expert and I&#039;m not trying or pretending to be. I joined cointalk because I have a hobby which is coins. It just happens that I try and use my knowledge I&#039;ve learned from CT and other resources to make my collection larger on a smaller budget. Is it so wrong to ask others who might have experience submitting coins of this nature to NGC or PCGS for their opinions? At the end of the day yes, it&#039;s going to be my decision, but making my decision based upon more than just my own opinion makes sense. </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as posting coins with rare varieties and not knowing what I have, sure, that happens a lot. I&#039;m guessing your referring to my 1883 V Nickel that you sent me a message about telling me it was a re-punch date or the 1866 Shield Nickel that was a certain variety. Honestly I don&#039;t care, I didn&#039;t pay up for a premium and if I don&#039;t have the book to reference, I&#039;m not going to find that information. I have books for some of the seated series, Lincoln cents, bust half dollars, large cents, SLQ&#039;s, early silver dollars and a few others. Those coins that I have books for sure, I&#039;ll look. Not everyone is a variety collector...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
