<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 424618, member: 15199"]...And if I might add, if you need more experience in grading ( and I always do), A show is probably one of the few times those of us who do not live near a large coin store can see a large assortment of slabbed coins. Take a little time and see if you can tell the difference between a MS64 1881-S and a MS?? 1881-S. Also it is probably the best time to actually hold in hand and view multiple 3-leg Buffs, 1909SVDB, 1914D Lincolns,1955/55, etc. I can justify going to a coin show 100 miles away with no spending cash just for the education.
