<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2558052, member: 36230&quot;]Do I understand correctly in that you&#039;re just &quot;starting&quot; to collect, meaning that you&#039;re new to coins and possess very little (if any) knowledge in this area? If so, my first question would be why do you think you can simply walk into a business and without even knowing the ropes, believe you&#039;ll be successful? I&#039;ve asked this same question of others throughout the years who felt coins their path to easy money, and have never once gotten what I felt was a reasonable, and in most cases even intelligent reply. Plumbers make good money, but I&#039;ve never known anyone to grab a wrench and print up a few business cards declaring themselves to be one simply because they want the rewards. With coins though this is awfully common occurrence and makes precious little sense. Why would the homeowner who possesses the most basic plumbing skills hire someone who knows even less? They wouldn&#039;t, right? So why do you assume collectors who know more than you, will be happy to fork over their money to you when you, or so I assume, cannot offer anything beyond the coins themselves (knowledge, expertise, connections/access, etc, etc)? Do you even realize the massive number of pitfalls and sucker bets facing the ill-informed? </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not asking to be mean, but only because I simply cannot understand the thought process behind what seems to be your desire. The best advice for new collectors is to learn before buying, and the same is true for those who wish to profit from coins, but magnified many, many times. Sure, there can be the exceptions, but overall it&#039;s just not as easy as many in your apparent position seem to think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
