<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Moonshine, post: 1231232, member: 26632&quot;]I&#039;d like to add a Peace dollar to my collection and figured I would start with the 1921.&nbsp; My local coin shop doesn&#039;t sell TPG graded coins.&nbsp; I went down there this past weekend and he had three of the 1921&#039;s.&nbsp; One was marked &quot;$500 BU&quot; and two others were marked at &quot;$255 AU&quot; (or $225...I forget now).&nbsp; My concern is that I buy one of these coins, have it graded and it comes back at a grade that is currently selling for alot less than what I paid.&nbsp; The difference in dollar value between one grade point is quite a bit for this coin.&nbsp; I am not looking to sell this coin but if I pay $500 for a coin that comes back as a MS-62 or 63 I probably won&#039;t be happy.</p><p><br /></p><p>I want to give the local guy my business as well as be able to look at the coin in-hand before buying.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it just a matter of becoming better educated when it comes to learning how to grade coins or is it just part of the &quot;game&quot;?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
