<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 5395787, member: 100459&quot;]I&#039;m not a collector of damaged coins nor do I look for them.&nbsp; However, when I find a coin that I like, I am slow to react.&nbsp;&nbsp; I try to get as much information about the coin as well as their history.&nbsp; When I first started out, I went to a dealer.&nbsp; He had a few RAW gold coins and recommended that I read up about them and make sure I get a Red Book and read it.&nbsp; Being young, I figured I wouldn&#039;t have to read a book if the coin looked good.&nbsp; I bought a RAW $20 Liberty coin.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t think that I would have to look deeply at the coin, so I sent it off to NGC.&nbsp; It came back UNC DETAILS-OBV SCRATCHED.&nbsp; It was an expensive lesson, but I&#039;ve smartened up a bit.&nbsp; Thanks to you all, I&#039;ve been able to take the time to examine the coin in great detail before I spend that kind of money again.&nbsp; Again, and again, thank you very much for keeping this hoppy alive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
