<p>[QUOTE=&quot;griv, post: 268482, member: 8952&quot;]Okay, obviously my post was a little misinterpreted. My fault. I had hoped that I made it clear that knowledgeable collectors like hontonai can buy whatever, whenever as they have the experience to find a diamond in the rough. I meant that if you are an inexperienced collector then you better stick with PCGS or NGC otherwise you will probably get burned. I certainly never meant this as an insult so my apologies to hontonai. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I also want to distinguish the traditional coin industry from the modern coin industry. Clearly the Mint has generated so many new coins in the last 20 years to segment the marketplace. My expertise is only with the modern coinage and any remarks I ever post have NOTHING to do with the non-modern coinage. Frankly, almost all of my experience and grading is in the MS/PR66-70 so forgive me if I sometimes generalize. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
