<p>[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 5133572, member: 84179"]When I was a young collector, I had the opportunity to spend some time talking to a major national dealer at a show. One piece of advice he strongly recommended was to avoid problem coins. He said to study the series and be patient. Problem coins will always be problem coins and will be more difficult to sell when you want to upgrade. I didn't listen, and still have a number of problem coins that I'm stuck with. I wish I would have listened.</p><p><br /></p><p>Keep saving your money and wait until you can find a nice, problem free example for your type set. Years from now, you'll be happier if you go for quality, not quantity. I know it's tough when you find something "cool" or something that will quickly fill a whole in your collection, but be patient. Learn from the mistakes of others. Don't repeat them yourself[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
