<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1988930, member: 41863&quot;]My advice? Buy every book that you can afford right now, dont get hung up on a super specific topic. Sure its nice to have a list of your current interests, but buy the leading books on EVERY coin related subject you are interested in, thinking of selling, or might have an interest in down the road. </p><p><br /></p><p>I had the misconception that owning these books was going to be like reading a novel, its not. Many of these books have tons of information inside of them, but not all of it is useful for everyday use, or make for fun everyday reading. Many of these books are used as a reference, meaning to look up the information you dont already know about a particular coin or series when you need to do so. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thats why I say get as many as you can on as many subjects as you can. That way when you run up against something you dont know you have the information on hand and dont have to try and remember every specific aspect of the coins you are trying to collect, sell, or buy. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thats not to say buy the book and shelf it indefinitely, just buy and put it away to pull out periodically as interest and needs arise on the particular subject. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now the reason I say all this is because you are young and an aspiring dealer. You dont want inventory to come in that you arent able to buy due to lack of knowledge, and also as an aspiring dealer its just in your best interest to not limit yourself, so buy the books on you priority list, but also pick up anything else you can find to advance your knowledge. </p><p><br /></p><p>Oh and again, dont shelve the books completely, please read them, but keep in mind that even reading these books many, many, times you will never fully retain all of the information, and thats why they call them reference books, to refer back and refresh your memory or learn new something altogether.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
