Or does it seem like coin collectors dont know when to just slow the hell down?


I recently started a collection of N.O material, and I havent even seriously looked for a coin yet. I know everyone is different, but when did learning about a series go back seat to just buying whatever is out there for whatever price?

Well, I know I'm one of the guilty ones that buys probably more quickly that I should... but that's a really good way to learn I think. Unfortunately it can also be an expensive and painful way to learn

What? You lose another auction by a single overbid?

Why spend money on books when you can spend money on coins? I'm finally getting over that mentality. The coins I'm interested in as of late are a bit more expensive than what I usually buy. I really want to know what I'm doing and appreciate those big purchases more.

The other thing is that the way the market has been over the last few years, you never know when that coin you've been having your eye on will disappear from the inventory. Better just go ahead and get it now before it's too late... I've done that too many times and regretted it.

We're all different...some slow and methodical, some fast a furious. Those who buy coins rapidly without so much study may waste a little money, but not as much as those who buy a new sports car every year....so while I'm willing to accept each of us the way we are, there is one attribute often exhibited here that still bugs me--the post that says, "Hey, why isn't everyone just like me? It's obviously better."
