[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1585895, member: 112"]rsand - If you are going to buy coins, about the best thing you could do for yourself at this point is to establish a relationship with a few trusted and respected dealers, and only buy coins from them. There are quite a few of those right here on this forum. Of course there are plenty of others out there to choose from as well. The main points are - by using a trusted and respected dealer you will always have a return privilege; you will be able to benefit from the experience and knowledge of those dealers and they will be able to pick out problem free and fairly graded coins for you, with both slabbed and raw coins; and you will get fair prices.
