2. Common coins will always be common, rare coins only get rarer.
6. Quantity minted DOES NOT MEAN quantity still available. Coins with mintages of less than 15 million are hard to get. Coins with mintages of less than 5 million are rare.

You've mentioned this before and I have to tell ya John, you've sure convinced me!

Relating how people would bring in folders with the same key holes in them time after time, it's easy to see the sagacity of your advice. I particularly like your observation: "1 million or less, you should be grabbing these as fast as you can."

Your advice has not fallen on deaf ears here.

Oh, and not to dismiss the rest of your good advice John.

It's just that #2 and #6 you really don't hear that much of elsewhere.

It's because of this forum that taught me about the arts and skills of Coin Collecting. I guess it's just the initial kick you give a potential collector by giving them an unknown coin that gets them to start researching for themselves.
That's what I did :)
