<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 8230221, member: 68&quot;]A lot of we older collectors learned about coins with little resources because there was no internet and even the coin papers were few and far between.&nbsp; Now with the net we have the idea anyone can be an &quot;instant expert&quot; but of course this isn&#039;t true because one needs to know quite a lot just to know what to google and even then there is a lot of bad info on the net.&nbsp; Anything you google will turn up millions of hits even if the question is bad.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fortunately the hobby is about having fun and learning and not even an old curmudgeon like me can stand in the way.&nbsp; I know this is little consolation but there are harder fields to break into.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only rule a newbie really needs to remember is to sell a coin once in a while so you know what it is really worth.&nbsp; It&#039;s easy to buy coins cheap but it can be far trougher to get your money back.&nbsp; You don&#039;t want to wake up one day and find you&#039;re buried in your favorite hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
