<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1208214, member: 26302&quot;]First, I would be very careful with Proxibid. I have gone to a couple of auctions in person that was on proxibid, and many of the coins were misdescribed, had major flaws not disclosed, etc. The auctioneer is a hack who either does not know coins or refuses to sell them properly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second, PLEASE educate yoursel on coins before spending more than a dollar or two for one. The Redbook is a good, cheap resource, so is this board, so are coin clubs. Knowledge is both power and money in any collectible market. If you do not know what you are doing you will get fleeced six ways from Sunday. The cheapest knowledge available is a good book that you read from cover to cover many times. One poor purchase is much more expensive than that. I have said it many times, I have 25k worth of books, and will bet anyone that I have received knowledge that has either saved me, earned me, or increased my self satisfaction with, on coins well in excess of this figure. I might be in the minority, but to me good books on coins are in many many ways the best investment related to coins you can make.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
