<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2697990, member: 19463&quot;]I&#039;m in the process or reworking my photo pages so suggest you read other pages now.&nbsp; My photo suggestions are a bit overkill for the interest level of most people.&nbsp; I do not have cleaning pages because I am no good at cleaning and feel bad when I try and fail.&nbsp; I buy coins that have been cleaned by people who have a clue.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I &#039;approve&#039; of all your selections and own many coins like those and very many not nearly as nice.&nbsp; Buy what makes you happy.&nbsp; I could be nasty and suggest you do what I do and only spend money from your retirement checks.&nbsp; If you are about 50 years short of retirement, that will give you plenty of time to plan.&nbsp; Your profile information does not tell us where you are located but if you are near a place that has an active club of ancient collectors, I suggest you join.&nbsp; If you are near a place with coin shows, I suggest you go.&nbsp; If you are located 1000 miles north of civilization, welcome to Coin Talk.&nbsp; Ask questions either openly on CT or by Private Conversation with me or with whomever struck you as likely to be useful in that subject.&nbsp; That means you <u>don&#039;t</u> ask me how to clean coins or how to make a quick profit selling on eBay.&nbsp; &nbsp; From what I see, you have put the kind of thought into the hobby that should serve you well for years to come.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
