<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1485566, member: 26302&quot;]Understanding grading and preservation of coins is a great goal. This was somewhat the point of my questions. You should understand how to grade, and why there are different grades before you pay for premium grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many new collectors like &quot;blast white&quot; coins. Many of them later learn to appreciate coins that are more subtle. Silver is extremely reactive, its very hard short of encasing in plastic, (and sometimes that does not even work), to get the to not tone some. </p><p><br /></p><p>In collectibles, knowledge is power. That should be the first lesson you learn, before &quot;investing&quot; in anything you should educate yourself how and why coins tone, how to differentiate between grades, and know why you are paying X dollars for a certain coin. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Once someone does that, I never have a disagreement over what they wish to buy. Every coin has someone who loves it, there is room for all in this hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
