Message:: [QUOTE="Bman33, post: 2622415, member: 77126"]I wanted to revisit this situation I was in when I was about to purchase this coin then pulled the rip cord.  I started collecting in Feb. of last year and have only been purchasing coins under $15.00 (modern silver proofs, mostly Kennedy Halves).  I did purchase a 1897 Morgan (P) for $35.00 raw.  I also Purchased a PCGS MS64 1887 (P) for $75.00 because I wanted a slabbed coin.  I have a very modest collection but now want to expand a little and I have a better financial position this year.  I like Morgans and Walkers, not very unique as far as coin collector's interests go.  I am just afraid of buying a bad coin like this one in this thread.  I was told to not buy the slab but the coin and that is what I did and ended up not buying.  How do I get better at grading and feeling comfortable with my larger purchases?[/QUOTE]
