<p>[QUOTE="dallas101, post: 1973317, member: 71838"]I agree with you 100%. I might be a newbie here but I've also been around and have had same problems with over-enthusiastic newbies. No doubt those Indian Heads I bought is a very typical newbie mistake. I was gonna make some money sending them to be graded. The decision took less than 5 minutes. The guy had about 7 of those coins and I won 5, could won all seven but the timing was impossible, If had ten minutes and I could have won them all. The real problem here, as you have pointed out and as my mom did so many times over decades, as did my teacher(s) and my wife, and many people I have encountered in my life....<b>IS ME</b>. Patience is something I realize that I have to obtain all my life but never could. I could have done much better in my life with patience but I'm O.K. with where I'm at. I know I can't change. I have learned to live with my hot-blooded self. And getting back to what we were talking about.... If I buy those books, I won't even go thru the first chapter, I know me. I'm just gonna bump my head around and push my way thru... to ancient Greek coins may be. GDJMSP, what you have accomplished here is just magnificent, and I welcome and appreciate your opinions and advise. THANK YOU!! However, if we all do it the same way others have done before, how can we ever progress? How did this country become what it is today without that rebel spirit? Sir, I'm gonna go spend my money on that lollipop, and if it tastes horrible, I'll spit it out and buy me a different one. Respectfully, ... edited... this was kinda a therapy session for me.......[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
