[QUOTE="PennyGuy, post: 690714, member: 17502"]There's a lot of wisdom in your advice Penny Lady. I think Mark Feld added an important item to the discusson as well, that item is patience. I can remember an impatient 10 year old, and maybe he is still part of me. ;) I have often said that Numismatics is a hobby that will teach you patience, whether you wanted to learn it or not! :) Patience is a necessary virtue to meet your coin collecting goals. I think a good buy, is the right coin, the coin that meets your expectations, at a price you can afford. Of course those criteria are different for each of us. So maybe it comes down to expectations. I don't expect to find a choice MS64 two cent piece for MS63 money, it just isn't going to happen.[/QUOTE]
