<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jeankay, post: 346536, member: 12159&quot;]<b>My 35 and 38</b></p><p><br /></p><p>The pictures I posted are the actual cents I got from that &#039;slab&#039; company.</p><p>My objective was to see if I could get a decent grade for the album I am building. Because I started out not being able to afford a much higher grade I thought I should stick to the 63-64, and maybe 65 if I could, all red, for the entire page. This strategy is working pretty good because it gives the page a balance that would be lost if I were to turn to much higher grades. And I know I cannot afford every cent on it in a 69-70 or a proof perfect grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had no illusions when I ordered the coins from this particular company.. I knew none of the ones shown came anywhere near an MS70 in my eyes.</p><p>Perfection is what it is, perfect, and not many non-circulated coins will fall into that category.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the MS63 not pictured and offered by the dealer... 95.00... no way would I pay that. My &#039;local&#039; dealer is one who does not negotiate like some of you other nice dealers might do. </p><p><br /></p><p>Like many of the other necessities in life, I find it more convenient to shop online. Because of my doggone dratted physical, dietary and allergy restrictions I am not able to travel on my own from town to town to shop. Otherwise I&#039;d hitch up old Betsey and head out in a heartbeat. </p><p><br /></p><p>All in all, the entire process is truly a learning experience. Between what I have been able to study in books, on the internet, and with great people here and another forum or two, it has helped me gain knowledge about the hobby... a hobby I only began about a year ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks to everyone... best to you and your families.</p><p><br /></p><p>jeankay[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
