<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Seascape, post: 7871819, member: 117848&quot;]I don&#039;t collect ancients. That sounds like a miserable go at it. </p><p><br /></p><p>90% of what i collect is 1700s 1800s. I don&#039;t have any major problems. I buy almost all raw coins. I just try to follow a few rules that seem to work for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Never impulse buy. It could take me days or weeks to buy a coin. I&#039;m just weird like that. Especially anything 50.00 and up.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Get a weight. These guys selling expensive coins have it on the page sometimes. If they dont just ask. </p><p><br /></p><p>3. Preferred dealers. I have a handful of sellers i always try to use. Dont always work... so follow all other rules.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. Look at sellers other items. Do you see problems? Do all they&#039;re coins display a problem of of some sort? Do you see something going on with the coin you are considering now? I&#039;ve bailed on more than a few coins after exercising this rule.</p><p><br /></p><p>5. Verify everything upon receipt. If your still not sure bring it here or your local dealer. I spend enough at my LCS that he will check out a pc for me. Don&#039;t ask often but i have twice. Both checked out because i followed all my rules.</p><p><br /></p><p>6. Don&#039;t buy Morgans </p><p><br /></p><p>I dont know if any of this would help with your ancients....but either way sorry you have to deal with all that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
