<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 830004, member: 13650&quot;]Great examples and great post.&nbsp;&nbsp; Although these are two series&#039; I don&#039;t normally buy, this serves as a good refresher and visual example.&nbsp; These are two of the most prominent yet overlooked coins to consider full details on.&nbsp; I think many people go many years without realizing how good a coin&#039;s details CAN be.&nbsp; So they never really know what&#039;s good or bad when they look at something.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; To any beginners reading this thread, here&#039;s where you separate the men from the boys.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp;&nbsp; (Hey, it just sounded good! lol)&nbsp;&nbsp; This is what it eventually comes to.&nbsp; Analyzing, recognizing, and paying for the minute details that can be found on the higher quality, lesser seen examples. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; This is where it becomes more of a science than a casual glance and a feeling that it &quot;looks like a great coin to me&quot;.&nbsp; &nbsp; There&#039;s big differences across all series&#039; out there.&nbsp;&nbsp; For whatever you collect, take time to see what the highest quality examples actually look like.&nbsp; What the coins *can* be!&nbsp; Even if you don&#039;t intend to buy them and may never be able to afford them.&nbsp; You almost need this as a barometer for judging the variable quality of everything else you will look at and potentially pay for.&nbsp;&nbsp; Then you&#039;re going to know when somebody&#039;s trying to blow smoke.......[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
