<p>[QUOTE="jb10000lakes, post: 8358722, member: 102967"]I was hoping to get some sort of a discussion about this in general. I like the 'best of the best' too, but sometimes the $$$ seems hard to justify the speculative nature of the hobby, hence my looking for what I would call value buys. If the charts can be deemed somewhat reliable, one could, with a good eye of what is rated at least "good", and you can get "good" (or better) coins for say, half, of the Red Book 'good' pricing, you are way ahead. Unlike silver where the underlying pricing is always bouncing around, I'd imagine there aren't too many dramatic changes in the cent and nickel pricing overall, except creeping up. I guess what kind of spurred me was winning this coin at what I thought was a really good price in a sense, so easily. Hell, if you told someone I know that I'd spent $20 on a penny, they'd swear you were lying right off the bat, it's that out of my nature. But heck, if I can just hit the auctions and feel fairly comfortable/confident that I'm not overbidding on stuff, you could almost make a living flipping coins...LOL[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
