<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 3037691, member: 36230&quot;]I&#039;m going to give a little advice here, but be forewarned that it usually doesn&#039;t go over very well, especially on this board....</p><p><br /></p><p>Learn first, buy second. As much as I can appreciate your palpable enthusiasm, what you&#039;ve thus far described is the same trap that many, many, many new folks before you have fallen into. The backstory, iffy photos, and the fact you&#039;re new to this and apparently looking for a &quot;deal&quot; all add up to one thing, and that&#039;s a disaster in the making.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please understand that there isn&#039;t a thing in this hobby that someone hasn&#039;t tried or thought of before you, and buying raw for a &quot;good price&quot; is most certainly one of them. Also, please understand that there are many thousands of knowledgeable people out there scanning listings, so if this was all it&#039;s made out to be, why hasn&#039;t one of them grabbed it? My point here is that one of the best gifts you can give yourself is to accept that you&#039;re not to the level where buying raw can be done wisely, and instead place your efforts into learning. If you want to buy coins while doing so, there are safer options even if more costly, but in the long run it is almost always the better choice. It&#039;s better to lose a little on something decent than to lose a lot on junk.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
