<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USS656, post: 1577033, member: 6641&quot;]Welcome to cointalk!&nbsp; I really liked all of the points especially 2, 6, and 8.&nbsp; Different people believe different things.&nbsp; When I first started collecting a very well respected member warned against number 6 but to this day I am happy I picked up a number of lower grade coins.&nbsp; I really learned quite a bit by examining these coins without worrying about the harm I might do.&nbsp; Since then I have become much more skilled at understanding the difference in grade.&nbsp; I also have had the opportunity to go to a couple major shows where you can find high end coins at most dealers tables.&nbsp; When you look at 20 ms65 coins of the same date and type you realize one how common these can be and also how different one can look from another.&nbsp; Again, its one of those moments that makes you reexamine how bad I want the coin at the price offered.&nbsp; Is the coin really&nbsp; acceptable for the actual condition and price compared to the many other examples available?&nbsp; So I like the advice of easing yourself into the hobby and handling as many coins as you can before starting on high value collections.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
