I'd stay away from slabbed coins in the price range you're talking about -- most all can be found raw at lower cost. Being able to hold and examine all sides of a coin more closely will also be very helpful.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck...Mike.</p><p><br /></p><p>p.s. the other idea I was going to float was to buy one $1000 coin or two $500 coins -- in order to slow down a bit and really focus. If you were to go that route, I'd recommend PCGS coins, and sticking to earlier type coins (say your favorite one or two series, pre-1950). But even buying PCGS coins is a risky proposition, and I don't know how confident you are in your grading or how risk tolerant you are...so YMMV.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
