<p>[QUOTE="ChrisKampmann, post: 539519, member: 17215"]Hey guys,</p><p> </p><p>This is only my third post to the message board and so far I love the site. The information you guys provide is informative and interesting. I inherited a almost complete IHC set from a relative and have caught the coin bug as you guys say. I came from the Baseball card collecting world and I always thought coin collecting was different, but now I cannot say that; it is amazing. Now, to my question. As I was going through the set that was passed on to me, I realized that the set had an 1874 IHC in the 1871 place, I think part of the 4 wore out and it was hard to see that the 4 was not a 1. The vision must have been going out on him, 91 years will do that to vision. Anyway, I want to complete the set and my local dealer is wierd, he never wants to talk, just stand there as I look, so I figure I will complete the set via ebay. From what I have read, you guys do not reccomend buying raw coins from ebay, so I have been looking for a PCGS or another TPG coin. I found a PCGS MS63 RB 1871 IHC that I really would like to have as a feature of the coin collection. To my knowledge the rest of the IHC that he had are at best XF. So, would this coin be okay to buy from ebay?</p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1871-PCGS-MS63-RB-Indian-Head-Cent_W0QQitemZ260362086956QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1871-PCGS-MS63-RB-Indian-Head-Cent_W0QQitemZ260362086956QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1871-PCGS-MS63-RB-Indian-Head-Cent_W0QQitemZ260362086956QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116</a></p><p>I just do not want to make a 700 dollar mistake.
