I&#039;m guessing that you are only in your teens.</p><p>You are a sellers dream. </p><p>Based on this and your previous posts, you have no real idea of what you want to do. Sometimes you seem to want to be a collector, sometimes a dealer.</p><p>You have no real knowledge of anything in the numismatic world, nor do you want to spend the time and effort involved in gaining it.</p><p>Your tastes are all over the map. If it sparkles, you want it. </p><p>You seem to have some money that is burning a hole in your pocket.</p><p><br /></p><p>Stop and take a breath. </p><p><br /></p><p>Do you dive into a swimming pool without checking for water?</p><p><br /></p><p>It takes years of experience and knowledge to become a dealer. You seem to have neither.</p><p><br /></p><p>Begin as a collector. Decide what you want to collect. Learn as much as you can about the subject. READ as much as you can about what you want to collect. Once you get that down, you can expand and move into something else. Never collect with the hopes of profit. Never. You will probably never see a profit. Collect because you enjoy the collecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you take it slow, coins and paper currency can be a very rewarding hobby. Jump in fast and furious and you will be seriously burned and turned off quickly.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a side note regarding the notes you have pictured in this post, forget them. They are too rich for your blood right now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
