<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2750894, member: 112&quot;]I think a lot of people look at this question the wrong way. What&#039;s been said so far is to a large degree true, it requires a lot of capital and a lot of knowledge to become a successful coin dealer. Short and sweet - it aint easy.</p><p><br /></p><p>But it is a lot easier to work for a large numismatic company, and make a pretty good living. Provided of course you have the requisite skill sets. Professional graders for example can easily make well over 6 figures. But probably the most lucrative job in numismatics is to become a buyer for a large company. But it is also the job that requires the most skill. </p><p><br /></p><p>Numismatics is like everything else, if you are the best or among the best you rise to the top, sometimes very quickly. Over the years I have had the privilege and honor of helping to teach at least 3 people who were members of this forum about numismatics who went on to be successful in the field. One became a professional grader and then a buyer and later a dealer in his own right. Another has become a senior staff member of Heritage. Yet another has become an award winning numismatic author.</p><p><br /></p><p>The point being of course that you can do it, provided you are willing to put in the work, the study, and the time required to accomplish what you want.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
