[QUOTE="stainless, post: 388071, member: 11757"]Well, this hasn't been one of my better weeks..... I make a bunch of bad purchases because I got bored with the franks.... Then today I rolled my ankle....so I will now be resting for the weekend:mad:. So, Everyones advice finally got through my thick skull....I am going on a break... I am going to read up on coins for a while....and then pick a set, and read up on those. I am no longer going to buy any coins unless I know what I am doing... So, I decided to stick with ancients (would die without those) and find a U.S. set that I like. I will still buy LRB's, in order to help with my attribution and cleaning of them. I bought one Tanka just to help me grade and attribute them....then I need to do research on those...So I will probly have one more set, and it will be a U.S. set... I am going to start tommorrow by reading the whole redbook all the way throgh again...and figure out a set i want to collect. and Buy a book or two on those. I am going to try to not be all over the place...and actually listen to you guys the first time around. I am sure I will still make mistakes down the road.....but they way I acted this week was very dumb....I bought coins just because I had the money without even thinking... But, the week did get a little better today....Arditarion unexpectidly mailed me four ancient romans....These are definatly going to help me with attribution....HUGE SHOUT OUT TO HIM:hail: Lastly, I want to thank everyone here for there advice, and I am very sorry I didn't listen to you guys sooner. If I would have, I could have saved a lot of money. So, in summary......It is time for me to restart...I am going back to the newbie stage...since I obviously need to get more experience on the simple things like toning and grading. stainless[/QUOTE]
