Message:: [QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 538833, member: 17665"]I have dealt with Skyline for some time now. Here's my take. They rarely if ever use the M.S. grading system, instead, useing terms like "choice" or "Gem". If you are looking to buy B.U. coins this can be misleading as I have found that many of their choice B.U. coins can be borderline B.U.'s. I have not bought a really bad coin so far but a recent purchase of a group of Unc. full red Indian Head cents returned me a coin with carbon spots that were not in the description. On the other hand a recent purchase of a 1918s Liberty quarter in Unc. at about half it's book value was a truly nice example. Not a full head, but then I would not have expected that for the price I paid. All in all they do sell nice coins. I would try a small oder from their monthly catalog, which you can request, and not order from their spreads in Numismatic News. The catalogs contain all sorts of specials and I have run into many clearance items that were a really nice value. Hope this helps you. Take care.[/QUOTE]
