<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1973399, member: 112&quot;]dallas - I doubt you could ever find anybody who was more of a rebel than me ! Been there done that, got 3 of the T-shirts, and have worn all 3 of them completely out !!</p><p><br /></p><p>Lemme give you an example. When I graduated high school I had a free ride to any college or university in the country. Even had a Congressional appointment to Colorado Springs. I told them all they could keep it, that there wasn&#039;t anything they could teach me. And that&#039;s just 1 example. So yeah, I know all about being stupid <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie10" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Have had lots of practice at it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I still went on to accomplish much in my life. But when I think, now, of what I could have accomplished - it beggars the imagination. And it&#039;s nobody&#039;s fault but my own. So yes, I do understand all about going ahead and buying that lollipop <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>But that doesn&#039;t mean I won&#039;t still go ahead and try to talk others out of it. Who knows, one day, 1 of them might even listen.</p><p><br /></p><p>geek - I&#039;m not saying don&#039;t take the journey. By all means, do. What I am saying is buy a book first, read it, study it, and <u>then</u> buy a coin or two, but cheap ones. Then buy another book, and maybe buy another few cheap coins. You can learn, and buy as you learn. I&#039;d never expect anybody to try and learn everything - without ever buying a coin. In the first place it wouldn&#039;t work. You have to look at coins in hand for what the books tell you to do any good. I&#039;ve spent my whole life studying coins. Over 50 years of it and I&#039;m still studying and still learning - every day ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
