<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ernie_in_jax, post: 23437, member: 1686&quot;]Hello there... I just registered this morning and this is my first post... I&#039;d love to get some insightful feedback from some knowledgeable collectors.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been collecting for about five years and I collect U.S. currency, I have a type set of U.S. coins going and I have a set of XF/AU Indian Head Cents going.&nbsp; I&#039;ll mess with one collection for a while put it down focus on another for awhile and sort of go back and forth between them enjoying them all.&nbsp; ANYWAY, I don&#039;t live in an area where there are many shows and the coin dealers in my area really don&#039;t seem to have much most of the time. Consequently, alot of what I&#039;ve acquired has been through mail bids and the like.&nbsp; It amazes me how many dealers will send out damaged coins.&nbsp; My real pet peeve is the cleaned coppers.&nbsp; Most of my indian heads are a nice chocolate brown and now I&#039;m getting up into the more expensive ones it&#039;s especially important to keep it that way.&nbsp; If you&#039;re inexperienced and you buy a cleaned coin for $9 it sucks but it&#039;s not the end of the world.&nbsp; Now they&#039;re starting to get up into the $150 and up range and you don&#039;t want to get stuck with any ugly coins for which you paid too much.&nbsp; I have sent so many coins back it&#039;s just not funny.&nbsp; The postage and insurance gets expensive after awhile.. GIMME SOME ADIVE FELLAS.</p><p>Ernie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
