<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PlanoSteve, post: 2997741, member: 91609&quot;]Again, welcome to CT!!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>There is no one answer to this question.&nbsp; There are hundreds, if not thousands of sources, ALL of which will have some great deals &amp; bad deals.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your mission is to learn enough to know which coins are acceptable to you (given whatever your collecting parameters are) &amp; what price you are willing to pay. Are you a serious or casual collector?, a reseller?, a stacker?, or......?</p><p><br /></p><p>Once you evolve into your level of collecting, it will become easier (again, with accumulating knowledge) to advance your objectives.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some people collect for the challenge of putting together sets, some to acquire the best specimen they can afford.&nbsp; Some collect to eventually resell, and some have never sold a coin (Me!).&nbsp; Some collect only ancients, some both, some only moderns, some only US....etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Knowledge is power!!!, but it is not gained overnight!&nbsp; Learn how to grade for yourself.&nbsp; I suggest you either throw away your copy of &quot;Strike It Rich With Pocket Change&quot; or exit this site - it will only bring trouble.&nbsp; If you&#039;re only looking for the Home Run, pitchers &amp; catchers report soon, the season is almost here! There are many excellent book sources - check those other threads on CT to learn about them.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie84" alt=":smug:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie84" alt=":smug:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie84" alt=":smug:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Any combination of coin shops, coin shows, flea markets, estate sales, on-line auctions, coin roll hunting, auction houses, pawn shops, etc., etc. are all sources where there are both good deals &amp; bad deals!!!&nbsp; There is no one source!&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Most of all, either have fun or find something else! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
