[QUOTE="Santinidollar, post: 2541782, member: 75866"]Mike, I respect and agree with your points. My coin knowledge, compared with yours, probably would amount to a flea on an elephant's backside. However, many brand new collectors come to this site. While they are learning this skill set you have mastered what should they do? Until their confidence grows enough to buy raw coins, I think they should stick to certified. (Being human, they are going to want to buy in the interim). Otherwise, what amount of losses are acceptable until they learn the skills to avoid cleaned and counterfeit coins? Hundreds of dollars? Thousands of dollars? I hope you see my point and the spirit in which it is offered.:) We ain't all Mikenoodle. Not yet, anyway...[/QUOTE]
