[QUOTE="Dougmeister, post: 2011847, member: 56842"]I have been studying, and I will have my handy-dandy ANA Guide with me (looking quite like a newbie). I'm looking to spend less than $500 on this coin, so going by Greysheet, I'm looking at a VF-or-lower coin. Oh, and it will be the later types with the motto on the reverse (1866-1873). Are these in a decent order and am I forgetting anything? Check all of these: 1) High points obverse [SIZE=2](head and hair through temple area & top of cheek, breasts, right thigh, knee and just below knee cap)[/SIZE] 2) High points reverse [SIZE=1](eagle's head, top tips of wings, both sets of talons)[/SIZE] 3) Rim for dings & test cuts 4) Fields for signs of cleaning, hairlines, etc. Oh, and are these counterfeited as much as Trade Dollars or are these safer to buy raw?[/QUOTE]
