[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 832867, member: 16510"]You are right plus the many facets to coins are like 10,000 of chapters in becoming a PHD in a subject. The thousands of books, your own book, 26 years in school and in the end only to be qualified to teach one single subject in the same school and to keep on learning. A body could study just Lincoln Cents (even Lincolns for one decade) for 60 years and learn something new all the time. Like golf (which I avoid like the plague because I'm a addict in recovery) you can only contiune to get "a bit better" and you will never be great all the time. There's too much! You can however take all this in your own degree of challenge in anyway you choose. The sage advice always holds true though. Invest in books first then coins. Find an area you like, if it ain't fun move on. Know you will never know it all or even a fraction of what there is to be known but that doesn't matter - there's no contest here. Thats why I stress books, and weekly magazines and study. There is just as much fun even if you never bought a coin it would be fun! If you read Coin World for one year you will know 25,000 things about coins that you don't know now. Have fun![/QUOTE]
