[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1619874, member: 36230"]Not for what they are asking. The seller can grade as "uncirculated" all he wants too, but that does not mean it really is. If the OP just wants an IHC as a type coin, he should look into any local dealers he may have. Decent late/later date coins have a way of piling up, so it is quite possible he could get a similar example coin for substantially less. I admire your enthusiasm, but you may want to consider taking the time to learn before jumping in and buying coins. Get yourself a few good books, hit a few shops or shows and look at as many examples of what interests you as possible. Search out a collecting mentor, or better yet, a trustworthy and knowledgeable dealer willing to assist you.
