<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1425757, member: 11521&quot;]If that is the worst mistake you make buying coins you will be fine. We have all made similar mistakes. Think of the amount you overpaid for the coins as a down payment on your numismatic education. </p><p><br /></p><p>Speaking of education, the most important tool in your coin collecting tool bag is your numismatic education. Knowledge is power. If you can distinguish between a circulated coin and an uncirculated coin or if you know how to grade a coin you will no longer be at the mercy of dealers who assign grades to their raw coins. (As you discovered, when they are selling coins many dealers grade their coins unrealistically high.) The money you spend on your numismatic education can be recouped on one purchase and will continue to pay dividends for a lifetime.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
