<p>[QUOTE="Grbose, post: 625339, member: 19274"]I learned very quickly that while Coin Collecting is the greatest hobby in the world you get the thrill of the hunt and the possibility of making a profit you need to really know what your doing. What I mean by this is like all collectors in the beginning you run wild and collect eveything I know I did. Then one day I was reviewing all that I had amassed and realized most of it was just nice stuff but really nothing that was ever going to gain much value. The reason I feel this is true like anything collected unless you buy the rarest in this case (Key dates) in the best possible condition there's really no point. Yeah it's nice to look at but for return purposes you need to have what's in short supply or in demand. So my advise to new collectors is collect the key dates you may have to save up longer but it will be more worth your time and money and don't bother with the rest. The most fun I think is putting together sets this is what gives me the greatest joy nothing like filling that last hole. I'm working on my Buffalo set now 10 more to go the pricey one's of course. :bigeyes:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
