Article: Though coin collecting is an incredibly niche hobby, many cities have at least one coin shop nearby. These stores offer a wide range of coins at competitive price-points, making them a great place for new collectors. Most shop owners are collectors at heart and can help you assess the value of individual coins, connect with other sellers, and find valuable, updated collecting resources.  Some coin shops will purchase coins directly from consumers while others buy only from trusted retailers. Expect dealers to charge up to 20% more than individual sellers. Though sporadic and not always local, coin auctions, expos, and other events are a great place to pick up new coins. Websites like AuctionZip can help you find upcoming auctions, while the American Numismatic Association keeps a list of upcoming coin and money expos on their website. Though eBay and other major marketplaces can yield good results, it is nearly impossible to check or ensure the quality of a coin before purchase. Instead, try specialty sites like Great Collections or Heritage Auctions. In the short term, numismatic groups are a great way to meet fellow collectors, learn about upcoming events, and gain advice on how to expand your knowledge and collection. In the long term, club members who decide to sell their coins often give priority and lower prices to friends made through the organization. Organizations like the American Numismatic Association offer online directories that can connect you with local and regional clubs. Many countries allow you to order specialty and commemorative coins directly from the national mint. Though mints charge above face value, they often include a certificate of authenticity and quality guarantee. Mints also sell uncirculated and proof coins, which are worth far more than their used counterparts.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Visit a local coin shop. Go to coin auctions and expos. Join a coin club. Order from a national mint.
Article: Whether you answer the telephone at home, are questioned by a stranger about not being in school, or are asked something by a teacher, give a confident answer about not being there. If you sound suspicious, you are more likely to get caught.  Speak loudly and clearly rather than in a soft mumble. Give straightforward and simple answers so it doesn’t sound like you are making anything up. If you answer the phone at home, disguise your voice so you sound sick or try sounding like one of your parents. Overall, it’s best not to answer the phone unless you know it’s very important. If you are seen outside of school and are questioned about it, say, “I’m actually working on an assignment, so I was allowed to leave school. I’ve got to get this done quickly, though, so I can’t stay and talk.” Say, “I’m on my way to an appointment, but I wanted to make a quick stop while I was passing through this part of town.” When you skip school, it’s tempting to go out on the town and have a lot of fun. The downside to this is you increase your chances of someone seeing you, maybe even your parents. Have a fun rest day at home so that no one will see that you aren’t at school.  It may not sound fun to stay home all day, but think about how often you actually get the house to yourself. Take the time to do whatever you usually can’t do with people around. Lounge around in your pajamas all day. Turn the TV up loud. Take a long bath without being bothered. Get a friend to skip with you and hang out together so you don’t get bored. Being in school is important, and you will miss a lot if you skip. Make sure you make the day something to remember and use it wisely. You’ll regret skipping school if you waste the whole day. Keep in mind that skipping school is never a good idea and the fun you might have is not worth the trouble you’ll get in if you get caught. If you go out for the day, make sure to come home around the time you normally do so your parents don’t question the time difference. If you stay home all day, go out somewhere so your parents don’t come home to find you there before you are usually home. If your parents typically get home late, you may not need to leave because they’ll expect you to be there anyway.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Act confident about what you are doing. Stay home instead of going out. Leave the house for awhile before your parents come home.
