Читать книгу Coin Collecting For Dummies - Neil S. Berman - Страница 56

The longer you’re active in collecting, the better your chances are of acquiring the rare coins you need. Sometimes, the opportunity to purchase a coin is rarer than the coin itself, so you must be patient and ready to pounce when your coin finally appears. Never assume that a coin is locked away forever. Who ever thought that Johns Hopkins University would sell off the Garrett collection? Who suspected that I’d ever have a chance to bid on coins from Byron Reed’s collection or from the Joseph C. Mitchelson collection, or more recently, the fabulous D. Brent Pogue Collection in 2016? I simply don’t know what neat collections lurk around the corner. But the fact that strong hands have sold their coins in the past gives me hope that others will do the same in the future.
