<p>[QUOTE="dond2885, post: 743345, member: 21071"]When I first got started. I bought, what a dealer told me, was an MS63 Susquecentennial half dollar. Think I paid 96 dollars. I was really happy, it was under book price. A few years later, when I had become more educated, I was looking at my commemmoratives and realized that this coin had been wizzed. Guess the guy at the show saw me coming. I didn't know what a wizzed coin was when I bought it. Never bought another coin from that guy and he is there every year at our club coin show. I know I got lengthy here, just wanted to say, anyone who tells you they never made a mistake and made a bad purchase can't be looking you in the face when they say it. You, actually didn't do to bad. Good luck with the collecting and stay with the hobby. Being retired and disabled, it is the big pleasure in my life. I subscribe to all the coin publications and borrow books from the club library. Read, read, read and the mistakes will be less common. Besides books on numismatics are a lot better then the trashy novels the laymen read. LOL[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
