<p>[QUOTE="Agilmore01, post: 2084373, member: 45687"]You have the exact same problem every single collector has: there is never enough money to buy what you really want. Basically every collector sees higher grade coins that they really want but cannot afford. I am still fairly new to collecting and I started out buying lower grade coins and have started upgrading as I go. Don't be ashamed to buy what you can afford right now. It will give you a level of enjoyment now and is also kind of like a little savings account. You should be able to sell them in the future to help subsidize your newer purchase. That is how I am able to upgrade many of my coins lately. I know everyone wants to shoot for the moon right off the bat but just ease into it and get what you can at your point of collecting. I started off buying all the barber dimes that I could to try to complete the set and I came up 8 coins short from a full set. I have since upgraded some and sold off the lower grade ones as I go along, but have enjoyed the lower grades in the meantime.</p><p><br /></p><p>I eventually picked out one certain barber dime date that I really wanted and went for it. I picked out the 1913 S because it is the second lowest mintage Barber dime. I was lucky and found a raw one online for $150, got it graded as AU50, and now can sell for twice my investment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
