Cherrypicking dealer stock, such as the boxes of slabbed coins or 2x2's, generally requires that you have a lot of back and forth interaction with the dealer. Typically, he'll hand you one box at a time to look through, and if you're fast, you might be pestering him several times in a short period of time for more coins to check. In such a scenario, it is important to be courteous and patient, and to only pull out and set aside the coins that you are pretty sure you're going to buy. The reason is that the dealer must go to several different places to put back any unsold coins you've pulled out.

Let's look at the doomsday scenario of investing. Many investors, myself included, hold gold because it is a great store of value. If our economy ever goes under (I sure hope it doesn't), gold and silver coins will be used to pay for goods and services. I sure want to hold different denominations and types of coins because not all goods and services cost the same amount. The smaller 1/10 ounce gold coins are the best for this scenario because they can be used to pay for smaller purchases. Silver coins are also really important under this scenario.

The first rule is � no matter the coin � never use harsh abrasives like silver polish. Abrasives scrape the top layer off of whatever they are polishing, and in the case of a coin, that top layer contains all of its detail and hence its numismatic value. Polishing in this way will leave the surface of the coin covered with tiny pits and scratches, not exactly conducive to preserving the coin's value. If you clean the coin using an abrasive, you'll get a shiny coin, but it will not be a coin that collectors are interested in. To see for yourself, try it on a penny, especially one from before 1982 (when they were 95% copper). The coin will be shiny and clean, but if you compare it to a similar coin, you will see that it also looks unnatural. Shiny, yes, but it will not look like it looked naturally when it was minted. Collectors eschew coins that don't look natural.
