<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3129169, member: 19463&quot;]Most people will advise you to buy the best coins you can afford.&nbsp; I sa this is correct if what you want is to make a profit from coins but you will learn more from these coins than from an equal amount spent on one perfect specimen.&nbsp; I consider the coins we buy a lot like tuition paid to a University for numismatic education.&nbsp; When you sell your text books at the used book store, you don&#039;t make a profit.&nbsp; That came when you read the books.&nbsp; I never graduated to the part of collecting where income outranks education.&nbsp; It is up to you to decide if these coins are for your education or as stock for your store.&nbsp; I hope you enjoy the hobby.&nbsp; I have. </p><p><br /></p><p>Your starter coins are all identifiable, all appear to be genuine (it is NEVER safe to say that from photos alone but I see no obvious problems) and all carry at least some degree of interest that offsets any problems they may have.&nbsp; It will be interesting to see what you decide to get next.&nbsp; I appreciate your well done images and the fact you gave weights and measurements which I rarely remember to do on my posts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
