I say ""I'd like a seated Liberty dime," just as I'd say "I want the album <i>Automatic </i>by VNV Nation" or "I want <i>Tangled</i>."</p><p><br /></p><p>In case #2, that's how collecting goes. We sometimes get burned, but we get over it and learn to do research and as a result learn more about coins and the hobby and how to buy and sell.

The best way to fight unscrupulous sellers, especially big ones with lots of lawyers and money, is to educate new collectors about them and how to keep from falling for their nonsense.
