<p>[QUOTE="JrCoin, post: 576503, member: 18390"]That is sound advice. I've been collecting for two years now and I'm just starting to develop my eye. There are way too many cons and pitfalls to justify throwing down big $$$ on a coin just because it's in a tpg slab or looks good or whatever. I mean, if you are spending literally thousands of dollars on a key date tell me you wouldn't be turned off from the whole experience if you spent a months salary too much, or ended up with a real good fake. I can tell a G from an AU but the MS 63-70 range seems awful particular. I'm always looking at mercs wondering if the darn thing has been "whizzed" and something someone swears is MS 63 with a weak strike looks an awful lot like VF-45 to me. I wonder if more experience will help with my confidence in grading or will boggle my mind more. You have to start somewhere, and crawl before you walk. Just remember...it's supposed to be FUN. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
