<p>[QUOTE="AirborneReams, post: 4869021, member: 114853"]Hello all! I’m a few days new here and still learning some of the ins and outs. I have collected for a while and thought I’d turn something I loved into work, seemed like the best time to do it losing my job and all to everything that happened earlier this year. I do find myself not in a bad spot but kind of just treading with what I put out and gaining some or losing some from online auctions. I only bid at places that I know have returns/refunds do to fake coins or just completely abused coins that was not shown in the pictures with reflection or some sort (way more common then I expected..) I’ve tried local estate sales but there aren’t many going on and they don’t have much of a yield for coins or currency. I try to bid on coins that are low for their worth but I still usually only get 5$-20$ And 50$ on top If I’m really lucky (very rare). I thought buying the bigger more expensive coins usually yield more for a return but I’ve been finding myself losing money that way or getting it right back because those are the coins that usually go over their worth especially if the sellers really doctor up their photos which mostly everyone does on these sites and people eat it up. Does anyone have some helpful tips or any ideas and insight that can help keep this thing I love going for me and possibly grow into something more? I’ll take any feedback good or bad anything is helpful for me being somewhat new. Thank you in advance![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
