<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 61822, member: 112&quot;]Well not exactly. There&#039;s a bit more to it than that. IMO you shouldn&#039;t buy anything anywhere if you don&#039;t understand, know and are very familiar with what you are buying. Unless of course it is with money that you can afford to just burn.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if you know your coins, and I mean know them not just be able to recognize what they are - then sometimes it is worth taking a chance. As long as it&#039;s not too big of a chance. You can narrow down the odds and reduce your risk by also knowing your seller, and I don&#039;t mean the number of positive feedback replies they have. I mean have good solid referrences from people you trust.</p><p><br /></p><p>And then we come to certified coins - they can&#039;t be certified by just anybody. I would only buy coins that are certified by NGC, PCGS, ANACS or ICG. All others - forget it ! Unless you can actually have the coin in hand to examine and you are qualified to authenticate and grade it yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p>But of you can do ALL those things - by all means, buy raw coins on ebay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
