<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 12345957, member: 100459&quot;]My first entry into the gold coin market/collection was about 2009.&nbsp; I had been referred to a dealer in a larger town.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t know beans about coin collecting (and probably don&#039;t know much more now.)&nbsp; I had gotten my father&#039;s collection and went through them, just to see what he had.&nbsp; This dealer showed me some coins he had, but I was set on getting some gold coins.&nbsp; Looking back, I should have done a lot more research, but I was set on what I wanted.&nbsp; He had just bought a $10 Eagle and a $20 Double Eagle.&nbsp; He told me they were a little rough and might not grade too well.&nbsp; I decided to buy them anyway.&nbsp; He told me he was going to a show and that he could have them graded for me.&nbsp; When he came back, he told me that they didn&#039;t grade too well, and he was willing to buy them back.&nbsp; The Eagle graded MS-61 and the Double Eagle came back Details.&nbsp; Anyway, I kept them.&nbsp; He sold me the MMIX (2009) Ultra High Relief that he just got back.&nbsp; It had graded MS-68 and I have had collectors tell me that they would sell it and try to get an MS-70.</p><p>As many of members of Coin Talk, I thank you for the many encouraging words to me and many other collectors that have looked to Coin Talk for help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
