[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 123432, member: 705"]I see I also messed up....I posted links to a 1919-S not a 1919-D....there is LOT of changes in how to grade the 2 coins.... The 1919-D that you posted was very nice....the problem with that coin is that it has been circulated...if that was UNC it would have a very high grade because all of the detail is nice. If I were you I would keep on learning to grade and watch for upgraders....now don't do this untill you are ok with grading and have some time under your belt....sometimes you can find a coin marked F when it is really a VF....but to know what is F and what is VF is hard...and sometimes it can be one mark or just how the grader is feeling that day that can make a coins grade go up or down. Keep an eye out and you will find some nice coins....if you have a question....post a link or ask it BEFORE you buy it.....that will help out many times.... Remember....no one can tell you what to collect....f you like the coin then that is all that matters. Speedy PS--There is a NICE 1919-D nickel on ebay....MS65 I think....the strike is great but I bet the last bid will be really $$$ Speedy[/QUOTE]
