Buying a coin for less than its worth. Can it be done? Yes, it is every day. I know from experience how thrilling the idea is of buying an underpriced coin. However, until you have the knowledge of recognizing problem coins, grading yourself with good accuracy, and many other things, you have about a 10% chance at best of getting a superior deal. Most of the time you will be buying overgraded or problem coins &quot;at a discount&quot;. My advice, which I wish I could have given myself 35 years ago, is to concentrate on learning, buying good coins from a local dealer. These coins may be a little high, but will always be good coins that you will not regret buying. Once you start seeing why so many of these &quot;bargains&quot; are not bargains at all, once you can tell for yourself a 64 from a 65, once you recognize a problem coin from halfway across the room, then you can cherrypick for better deals. Trust me, they are not so easy to find as it seems right now. A good coin usually has buyers lining up to pay greysheet+ for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sound fair?</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
