[QUOTE="rev1774, post: 1286535, member: 32001"]I would much rather buy slabbed safe coins than raw as well, especially Morgans and Peace Dollars. Around my area though that means only online or the rare chance at an antique shop (usually overpriced). Most of what is sold around here is raw and usually the lighting isn't the best for viewing them, add to that impatient folks working in the places, no dealer on premises and such. I do only buy graded items online as it is even harder that way. I have made mistakes and I'm sure I will continue making them. Hopefully, learning from each and I suppose the best way learning is to at least try sending something in for grading and seeing if my hunches and hopefully my skills are getting better. But you are right, I make the decision to both buy and grade something. I can't blame anyone else for my mistakes but myself.
