<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 26211259, member: 3726"]I have had several major sells - with heritage I did multiple shipments. And yes I paid for insurance which was not cheap, but made me feel better. I usually pay for insurance but not always - so far nothing has gone missing. I never really been hung up on making a profit - but it is really really fun for a rookie like me. I love my local shop - they encourage cherry picking. I still remember 2 bust halves I told them they were selling cheap for date or variety. There response was buy them - so I did. I did buy them held on to them for 5 or so years and doubled my money on them when sold. That makes up for a few stinkers I bought from them. I believe a real expert could pick out coins locally and make money. I have met a couple of dealers looking thru their cases.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am at the stage where I buy very few coins any more.
