<p>[QUOTE=&quot;susanlynn9, post: 33439, member: 1258&quot;]Grovey,</p><p>Even if you didn&#039;t get what you expected, please don&#039;t let that turn you off to re-entering the hobby. There is so much more available now than there used to be. There are forums and clubs that operate on the internet so that communication between collectors is so much easier than it used to be. There are lots of specialized collectors with loads of knowledge and very interesting coins and stories to share. To cut yourself off from all this because of one purchase would be so sad.</p><p><br /></p><p>Internet purchases can be risky. But, let me ask you this, regardless of what opinions you get from the forum members, do you like the coins? That is always the most important test. I know many people who buy what appeals to them and the $ value doesn&#039;t matter because there is an intrinsic value for the collector. It seems to me that the set you bought is very attractive in a nice presentation and would be a nice start to a new collection. Yes, maybe you got a little burned on the price, but you learned a valuable lesson and it is still a very attractive set.</p><p><br /></p><p>Are Jeffersons what you want to begin collecting now, or did this set just catch your eye? There are so many coins with beautiful artwork, so many different series, loads of choices if you consider World coins, ancients have a wonderful history that could be explored, not to mention the possibility of errors and varieties. There&#039;s a whole numismatic world out there waiting for you. Think about that when you look at your nickel set and smile. You have many fellow collectors here and many (probably most) of us have purchased things that weren&#039;t what we expected once we received them, but we&#039;re still here&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
