<p>[QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 565036, member: 1242"]I agree with everyone's advice and don't have much to add! I would recommend that when purchasing from Coin Dealers at a shop or at a Coin Show, try to purchase in volume if possible. In this way, you can ask for a discount and many Coin Dealers will give you 5%, 10% and even 15% or more of a discount for purchasing in volume. Also, like Harry said, buy the Keys and Semi-Keys if you can afford them but try to get them as cheap as possible. Also, besides purchasing Keys and Semi-Keys, you should learn all of the <b>sleepers</b> (i.e. low mintage coins that just don't seem to bring the same prices as other low mintage coins within a Series and Type) by heart and purchase as much of them (again as cheap as possible) as you can. The sleepers will one day take off in price and you might be sitting on a Gold Mine per say!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
