<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 593525, member: 3726"]Jack - what you don''t mention is your grading ability - were these purchases because your grading was off or because you were learning the art of buying and selling? That is a skill I do not possess - and yes I am still learning to grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think Doug summed it up better than me. I know for a fact if I went to sell some of my raw IHC's they would not bring a profit - but also not a big loss. I also think if I placed some of my bust halves on ebay they would bring a little profit(as long as I did not use the clean word). Neither of which would make me an expert.</p><p><br /></p><p>Learning from this board and previous purchases is probably the biggest reason I buy so few raw coins on ebay anymore. I also pass up graded coins - this board has helped me a lot. One of the reasons I have been around so long. Does not mean I will not make a bonehead purchase now and then, but I think I have improved.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
