<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 2482870, member: 68"]I fear your preferences are going to make it difficult to profit. It's not necessary to specialize to make money but you do need focus. You must learn to recognize rarity when you see it. Sometimes a $20 coin is far rarer than a $10,000 coin and if you judge rarity by price alone you will end up with the mundane or at best a fully priced collection of scarcities. </p><p> </p><p>Ancients and foreign coins are good suggestions. A type set is also a good suggestion if you take your time and learn. Sell some coins once in a while so you know the real spread between buy and sell. </p><p> </p><p>You might consider trying some super cheap collection like tax tokens (really coins) as you're learning the markets and the coins. This might satisfy your need to buy without exposing you to unnecessary risk. </p><p> </p><p>Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
