<p>[QUOTE="Phoenix21, post: 430488, member: 7424"]Learn about what you want to buy, before you buy it. Also, patience will save you a lot of money in the long run too. I was going to buy a 1926-S in AU condition (raw) about a month ago, nice coin with a real nice strike. The problem with it was is that it had spots all over the back (not corrosion, I believe they were carbon, still distracting none the less.) Would've cost me $63, plus shipping. AU ask I believe is $63, and the shipping would've put it around $70 with insurance. Where the strike was nice, the spots still took away from it's eye-appeal. I was going to spring on it, but after getting the advice from someone (who sort of turned it around back to me, but gave me there opinion), so I decided to pass on it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Then, not too long after that, I find the one on Jack's site in graded AU-50, graded, problem free and as sharp as a tack. Beautiful color, and from a seller I trust and prefer to buy from. Gave it to me IMHO at $75 shipped. Patience, very important thing to have in this hobby. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Best of luck to you Wabbit. :thumb: <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Phoenix <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
