<p>[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 201550, member: 7957"]Yes, there are 10,000 dealers there, and 50% are only there to get your money any way they can and probably 75% of the rest are honest, but do not know what they are selling. Having said that, I got several good deals on eBay and most of my set from there. I also have returned at least 25% of what I buy with relatively few problems except I lose the shipping because "they" think unc means xf cleaned. I gave up trying to get nice Lincolns from 1934 to 1958 and decided only to buy slabbed coins because MS65+ ususally means mostly red, lettering is there, and less than 100 baggies. It is hunt and peck on eBay, but at a show, I can see exactly what I get - eliminating the junk. But you pay for that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said all of that, there is something about being able to say I only paid $10 for that and is is really worth $100.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
