Hello and welcome to the forums!     Ebay is a good source to buy from but due to the costs sellers incur the prices are quite often retail or higher.   Just a suggestion but you may want to branch out and explore other sites like the available auction sites.    Sometimes you will find that ebay sellers may have the exact same coin listed on their website for less; just something to keep in mind as you search around.

Hope you will enjoy being here and don't be shy about showing us the coins you have in your collection, we love to see coins.  

Thanks man.  I am going to look into this Heritage auction site.  I have uploaded all the NGC coins I have under my name jm20thengr.  I have about 15 uploaded now.  Nothing great but I am just starting out.  Thanks for saying hello.

Welcome JM you’ll enjoy this very knowledgeable group. I constantly check their opinions and follow their guidance. I enjoy numismatics and collected years ago then got rid of everything (big mistake) then started over again last year. I’ve made a ton of progress, spent way more than I should have but I do it for the measure  of satisfaction in completing sets and whatever else I decide to focus on.

Best wishes

Thanks Mr.Bill - I agree on spending more money than I should.  Of course you have to keep the lights on and a roof over your head but this hobby can become addicting rather quickly.  Thanks for saying hello.

Hello and Welcome JM!!

It's always nice to see new collectors join the group!  There is a lot of knowledge here and we're all willing to share that knowledge with new people who want to learn.  Joining our little online home is a great early step in joining the hobby!

 

Thanks Mohawk.  I have much to learn I am sure.

JM,

Welcome to the forum. Always glad to see new collectors joining the mix. You will find a mix of members on the forum with some collecting a full lifetime and others just starting the journey with many in between. You’ll also see a lot of different personalities, but I will say this is a great group of people. If you need help, advice, second opinions, etc. people will be glad to help. Stick around for a while glad to have you. 

Thanks woods!  Glad to be here.
