<p>[QUOTE=&quot;libertyseated, post: 215968, member: 8137&quot;]A few years ago I got back into collecting coins. My first purchase, a 1872 seated dollar in VF. Being out of the hobby for many years I did not brush up on my collecting skills and guess what? My 1872 dollar was a fake! A $117 mistake nearly drove me back out of the hobby. Well, I learned my lesson. I bought a few books on counterfiet coins and brushed up on most everything to do with the hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>Buy the book before you buy the coin? The best advise in the collecting world!</p><p><br /></p><p>I still have the coin. I keep it as a reminder.</p><p>It reminds me not to open my wallet unless I know what I&#039;m buying!</p><p><br /></p><p>Happy Hunting</p><p>Chuck[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
