Message:: [QUOTE="Catbert, post: 664105, member: 12718"]I know you said you don't want to read, but I think you are taking a considerable gamble without taking the time to know what you are investing in.  I would take some time to learn about what I am doing rather than rely upon a message board to give you buying advice. With that said, here is a good short article that has some excellent advice: <a href="http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art55609.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art55609.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art55609.asp</a> "The key dates and semi-keys of any series have out preformed the common dates in all grades in the past and there is no fundamental reason for that to change in the future." "Do not buy coins graded by inferior or less known grading services." "Buy from a well established dealer so that you can return the coin in the event that you are not happy with your purchase. Expect to pay close to the current book value for problem free key-dates and semi-keys." "Be very cautious because a lot of the sellers do not know how to grade coins, much less recognize if the coin is a fake." "Learn to grade the coins that you are interested in before you buy the coins!"[/QUOTE]
