<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1784283, member: 112&quot;]Actually I think they grade about 100,000 coins a month, NGC does closer 150,000. But the lion&#039;s share of those are all moderns. &#039;Course that doesn&#039;t matter, it still ties up the graders.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But none of that has anything to do with the patience I am talking about. When I say that patience is valuable what I am talking about is waiting until you find an exceptional coin instead of buying on of the first 5 or 10, or even 50, you see. And that applies across the board in all grades.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Way too many people make the mistake of buying, or trying to buy, the first example they run across of a coin they want. In today&#039;s world people have this instant gratification thing, anything they want they absolutely have right now. And to satisfy that need or desire they buy a coin that is low for grade, over-graded, or they pay too much because they are in a hurry.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>They don&#039;t understand what it is or even what it means to be discriminating, to take your time and look around, wait for the right coin to come along at the right price. That&#039;s the patience I am talking about.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Of course instant gratification applies to everything these days it seems, including wanting your coins graded - right now ! They aren&#039;t going anyplace, you&#039;ll get your grades and your coins back. And it won&#039;t matter or change anything if it&#039;s in 2 days or 2 months. I mean what are going to do anyway - put them in a box and stick them in the safe for the 5 or 10 years ? And maybe look at them now and then ?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now if you&#039;re a dealer and you&#039;re trying to satisfy a customer suffering from this instant gratification syndrome - OK, that I can see. But anything else, relax for God&#039;s sake. They&#039;ll come when they come. Spend your time looking for the next nice coin, and forget about being in a hurry. You&#039;ll be a whole lot happier in the end, and save money to boot <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
