<p>[QUOTE=&quot;umtrr-author, post: 168164, member: 5719&quot;]Welcome!&nbsp; Glad to have you.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would echo the sentiments of our veteran posters here.&nbsp; I don&#039;t call the Krause Catalog of World Coins &quot;the phone book&quot; for nothing-- it&#039;s easily as thick as most telephone directories I&#039;ve seen, and that&#039;s just for the 20th Century in the case of the one we own!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There are tens of thousands of coins listed in that book alone, and if you were to become a dealer, there is the possibility that any one of those could show up at any time for evaluation and possible purchase.&nbsp; Some of these coins are listed at thousands of dollars, and some haven&#039;t changed in value since I first put them away as a child!&nbsp; You would be expected to know much of this off the top of your head, or at least know where to look very quickly, and then you&#039;d have to understand whether such a coin would belong in your store (virtual or otherwise) inventory and whether you could mark it up enough to make a living.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t mean to discourage you, but I find that the farther I get into this, the more respect I have for knowledgable dealers and fellow hobbyists.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
