<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Detecto92, post: 1642194, member: 75105&quot;]Here are some tips.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Don&#039;t buy anything from people with 0 feedback, let someone else take that risk. Avoid at all costs if the deal is too good to be true.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Stay away from anything that says [insert grade here] details. These are problem coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Never buy unsearched rolls. Exclusions are original bank wrapped rolls of silver coins.</p><p>&nbsp;<img src="http://static.collectons.com/images/items/2009/03/23/1237853462.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>But even then you might get burnt. </p><p><br /></p><p>4. Stay away from sellers that &quot;juice&quot; their images. They play with the color settings to make a coin seem better than it really is. </p><p><br /></p><p>5. Never buy raw coins unless you know what your doing. Over 60 million coins have been graded. The amount of good n&#039; raw dwindles by the day. While there are still good raw coins left, buy them from sellers you can trust. </p><p><br /></p><p>6. Poor photos can be good, and sometimes they can be bad. It&#039;s like the lottery. I&#039;ve bought coins with bad pics that look amazing, and I&#039;ve bought coins with bad pics that make you puke. </p><p><br /></p><p>7. Stay away from coins that have been cracked out of their holder. Unless you have photo proof from the TPG, you have no idea if the coin shown actually was in a slab at one point in time.</p><p><br /></p><p>8. Never buy coins from China, for obvious reasons. </p><p><br /></p><p>9. Sometimes better sites have a better selection of coins. Ebay seems to be a dumping ground for raw problem coins. I like the auction site great collections.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
