Before making that leap, bear in mind one more time this Rare Coins 101 Axiom:
If you are buying coins with the intent of reaping economic rewards, your chances of success are enhanced by first buying into the role of dedicated coin collector.

Many of the answers can be found on this website, Rare Coins 101 (hint: the Coin Lingo chapter is a gold mine of info), but others may require additional research elsewhere.
