<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 7838711, member: 100459&quot;]I have a 1904 Liberty $20 gold coin that I bought from a local dealer when I was just beginning to collect coins. (I was in my 60&#039;s)&nbsp; They were RAW and I told him I would like it graded.&nbsp; He took this coin and another one to a coin show.&nbsp; This came back from NGC:&nbsp; UNC Details, Obverse Scratched.&nbsp; I really didn&#039;t know what it all meant.&nbsp; After 5 years of in depth studying and looking at coins, I realized what the &quot;Details&quot; meant.&nbsp; It was not the dealers fault, but mine.&nbsp; I never buy a coin now until after I have done a great deal of research.&nbsp; I&#039;m 73 now and wiser, but I know I can still make a mistake now and again.&nbsp; This site is one of the best site to teach coin collecting and much more.&nbsp; Thanks for all that you do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
