<p>[QUOTE=&quot;asciibaron, post: 364650, member: 8566&quot;]the best solution is to buy the coin and not the slab.&nbsp; knowing the coin is better than trusting a slab. the best way to learn a coin is to look at hundreds of them.&nbsp; over time you will start to see subtle differences in the coins from different mints and dates.&nbsp; i really enjoy looking at high grade coins that had a long run in production.&nbsp; the Lincoln cent is a good example of such a coin, every few years the coin gets a tweak - i really like the early 60&#039;s hair!</p><p><br /></p><p>i have been digging through box after box of Canadian coins to get to a point where i feel comfortable with them.&nbsp; i&#039;m not there yet, but i have the dollars down enough that i feel confident enough to buy a 1948 in MS63 (if i only had the money).</p><p><br /></p><p>-Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
