If you lack it, you will be fleeced every which way by the sharks, and maybe get so mad that you leave numismatics. With superior knowledge, you can fleece the sharks and have the upper hand. How many numismatic books do you own? They are the best investment you can make if you read them. How many shows have you went to and handled endless coins? Seeing in person as many real coins and real erros will give you the baseline knowledge to seriously collect.
