<p>[QUOTE=&quot;usc96, post: 1078424, member: 25676&quot;]I suggest if you are laying out that sort of cash for your first big purchase that you buy certified in person at a coin show or shop so you get the look and quality you want.&nbsp; I&#039;ve bought bullion and graded coins ( including a graded Saint) from the company you are looking at, and while they provide a good service, don&#039;t think you are going to get a gem.&nbsp; They just sell what they get in.&nbsp; Most folks they buy from aren&#039;t going to sell them their MS64+ graded Saint for the going price, they are going to sell their MS64- one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought a NGC slabbed MS63, but that was because the cost was almost at parity with bullion and I have others in my collection, so I didn&#039;t see a downside.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will add that the company you are looking at was helpful in accommodating date requests.&nbsp; I said I had certain dates, so if it wasn&#039;t too much trouble I&#039;d prefer others that I didn&#039;t have and they sent me one I didn&#039;t have.</p><p><br /></p><p>Summed up, buy in person first, but if that is not an option, make sure to let them know you are looking at this for your coin collection, and not for your hoard of precious metals that will end up buried in the back 40.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
