<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 8288079, member: 100459&quot;]Many years ago, I inherited half of my father&#039;s coin collection.&nbsp; It wasn&#039;t much, but it got me into coin collecting.&nbsp; A couple of years later, after reading several books about coins, I decided to but a gold coin.&nbsp; I actually bought 2.&nbsp; The local coin dealer had several gold coins.&nbsp; I bought two gold coins, both RAW.&nbsp; One was an 1895 Liberty Head Variety 2 Motto Above Eagle One-Half Ounce Gold Coin and the other is a 1904 Liberty Head One Ounce Double Eagle Gold Coin.&nbsp; The dealer was headed to a show and offered to have mine graded.&nbsp; He told me that they both would probably grade MS 61.&nbsp; I agreed.&nbsp; When he came back with my graded coins, the 1895 graded by NGC, MS61, however, the 1904 &quot;graded&quot; &quot;UNC DETAILS, OBV Scratched by NGC.&nbsp; The dealer offered to reimburse me for the coins and the cost to grading.&nbsp; I decided to keep them.&nbsp; I still think they are very nice coins and will not sell them.&nbsp; I learned a lesson that I never want to forget.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
