<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 7568905, member: 103207&quot;]Dirty Fingers, as soon as I saw they looked at a red book for pricing to me that&#039;s a red flag.&nbsp; Honestly, the Red Book is good for basic info but, when it comes to actually pricing it could be good or bad.&nbsp; If a dealer is pulling out a Red Book for pricing that would be concerning to me.&nbsp; And charging extra because it was graded is another red flag.&nbsp; Although price lists don&#039;t tell you if the prices listed are for graded or not graded coins.&nbsp; Most collectors assume the price list is based on graded coins.&nbsp; Raw coins generally sell for less.&nbsp; Even the prices on a price list aren&#039;t fixed.&nbsp; Some coins graded or not can sell for more or less than the prices listed.&nbsp; The 1899-O Morgan in the first pictures screams I&#039;ve been polished.&nbsp; The second set of picture of the same 1899-O looks cleaned.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d recommend that you stay away from higher value coins and buy some cheaper coins to get a feel as to what you like.&nbsp; It sounds like you are interested in coins but, be a little careful when buying otherwise you will get burned and I would hate to have you loose interest coins.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think there is anyone on this site that hasn&#039;t regretted buying some coins.&nbsp; And yes even the very experienced collectors screw up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
